Planned Giving
You can make a lasting gift, through legacy giving, to ensure that Childcan will be there long into the future for families faced with the diagnosis of childhood cancer.
What is Legacy Giving?
Legacy giving is a way of perpetuating your support for services you believe in, so the gift may be arranged now, but received by Childcan in the future.
Why Make a Legacy Gift
Establishing your legacy gift with Childcan will do lasting good in your community, while optimizing tax and other benefits. Your thoughtful preparation will bring strength, support and hope to future families facing childhood cancer.
Who Can Give?
Anyone can make a legacy gift. Almost everyone has something they want to pass on to loved ones, and after that, many people find that they have something left over to leave a legacy of caring and involvement in their community.
How to Create a Childcan Legacy?
There are a number of ways of creating a legacy gift. Why not discuss your plans with your family and then consult a professional such as your lawyer, accountant or financial advisor. Professional advice will help you choose the option that makes the most sense for you. We invite you to contact Childcan at any stage of the process to discuss your wishes.
Life Insurance
A gift of life insurance allows you to make a large gift in the future by paying relatively low premiums now. You can name Childcan as the owner or beneficiary or existing life insurance policy. This gift will also entitle you to tax advantages.
Bequest in a Will
One of the most popular choices is to make a gift of cash or property by including Childcan as a beneficiary when you write your will, or by adding an appendix to your Will. This is the simplest form of gift giving and may significantly reduce your estate taxes.
Gifts of Securities
By donating securities directly to Childcan your payment for capital gains will be significantly less than if you had kept the proceeds for yourself. A donation receipt is issued for the full market value of the security at the date of the transfer.
