Bequests
and Planned Giving
|
Plan now to make a gift
in the future, to continue to help the Jewish Eldercare Centre in
its vital mission to care for the frail elderly of our community.
Planned Gifts are generally funded from a donor’s assets,
rather than from a person’s current income. The easiest
and most common form of planned gift is a bequest made through
your will. The donor’s estate almost always receives major tax
benefits from a charitable bequest.
Other types of planned gifts which will benefit the Jewish Eldercare
Centre are: Gift Annuities, Gifts of Residual Interest, Charitable
Remainder Trusts, Life Insurance Policies and Gifts of Securities.
Some forms of planned gifts allow you to make a gift in the future,
while receiving significant tax benefits during your lifetime.
