Did you know that, as part of your Will, you can set aside money for charity? You may have heard this called planned or legacy giving. And you\u2019ll probably hear a lot more about it in the coming years: a Will Power<\/a> study found a significant increase (5% to 8%) in the number of Canadians donating to charity in their Wills.<\/p>\n

In real numbers, that\u2019s 1.2 million more Canadians giving in their Wills, creating roughly $37 billion in future donations.<\/p>\n

Think of the impact this $37 billion could have… how many vulnerable lives could be transformed, how many families could gain access to essential resources like education and healthcare, how many communities could rise from poverty and regain their dignity through inclusive and sustainable support.<\/p>\n

Think about what a big dent YOU could make !<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why the surge in Will-based charitable donations? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

One obvious reason is an economy forcing us all to hold our wallets a little (or a lot) tighter. Donating in your Will lets you make a big difference without using the money you need now. Even 1% in your Will could make quite the impact.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/missioninclusion.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CALCUL2.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”CALCUL~2″ url=”https:\/\/www.willpower.ca\/legacy-calculator\/” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

This, coupled with an urgency to do<\/em> something in the face of growing global need, has made gifts in Wills a popular solution. Inflation and cost of living may have put pressure on Canadian incomes. But the desire to help has never been stronger. Here\u2019s a way for people to drive the kind of change they want, and it\u2019s well within their reach.<\/p>\n

Another reason is demographics. Roughly a trillion dollars will be passed down over the next 10 years, the biggest wealth transfer in history. It\u2019s given many of us pause, realizing we probably will have enough to support family AND a charity in our Wills.<\/p>\n

Why donate to charity in your<\/em> Will?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It might sound funny to think of your Will as a tool for change in this world, but when it comes down to it, there are many benefits to donating this way:<\/p>\n

Contribute more than you could otherwise. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our donors are always amazed when we tell them how far their donations stretch, and how much more we can do to build inclusive communities with every extra dollar.<\/p>\n

When we show them what a small percentage in their Will to Mission inclusion could look like, they do the math and their eyes light up.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_testimonial author=”Mrs. Susan Kimpton” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” job_title=”Donor and retired pediatrician” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ quote_icon_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” quote_icon_color=”#73736e” body_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve been blessed with a privileged life, both personally and professionally. I worked for nearly 40 years in the field of health and children. That’s why it’s important for me, if not essential, to show my gratitude to life through a testamentary sharing gift.\u201d<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ text_font_size=”16px”]<\/p>\n

Remember, that the value of your \u201cestate\u201d is the sum of any property and\/or business you own, your pension and\/or registered funds, any securities like stocks or mutual funds, any cash savings, and life insurance. It adds up, even if you subtract debt.<\/p>\n

In fact, the average Canadian family in 2023 had a net worth of $981,816<\/a><\/span>. If you put just 1% of that aside for charity, you\u2019d be looking at a donation of about $10,000! When else could the average Canadian make such an extraordinary impact?<\/p>\n

Continue the good work you\u2019ve done.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When a donor tells us they\u2019ve left a gift in their Will, we often get into the \u201cwhy\u201d. Most speak about their work with Mission inclusion as an expression of their values; something that provides them purpose, pride or enjoyment. They see their contribution of time and money to people in vulnerable situations as an investment.<\/p>\n

So it only makes sense that they\u2019d want their good work to continue on after they\u2019re gone. Not just to keep their investment going, but also to show leadership and motivate others to get involved.<\/p>\n

Keep your memory alive in a unique way. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Talk about motivation – Can you imagine how proud your children or grandchildren will be to know that you’ve contributed to the emancipation of women in Kenya? Or how honored they would be to participate in the development of Quebec’s children? Your gift doesn’t even have to be grandiose.<\/p>\n

When your loved ones have something tangible, meaningful and bigger than you to associate with your memory, you will have created a legacy that future generations can rally around.<\/p>\n

Tax breaks. Big ones.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Taxes probably aren\u2019t the first thing you think about when it comes to charity. But Canada actually has some of the most generous charitable tax incentives in the world! In Canada, when you make a donation, you get a charitable tax credit that can go a long way to help pay down what you owe.<\/p>\n

Your loved ones might need that charitable tax credit when you pass, because your estate is likely to be hit with a huge tax bill they\u2019ll have to take care of. You can even structure your donation in different ways so that you get the biggest tax break possible.<\/p>\n

A popular approach is to name a charity as a beneficiary of your RRSP, because the credit received will close to cancel out what would be owed on this heavily taxed asset.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested to learn more, you can always book a consultation with a financial advisor<\/a><\/span> who specializes in charitable giving.<\/p>\n

How to write a Will that includes a charity.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s easier than you think. In fact, it can actually be fun to dream about the future and give shape to the mark you will make\u2026<\/p>\n

1. Choose the charity or charities you\u2019d like to support.<\/strong> It\u2019s wise to book a chat with someone at your charity to talk about your options and make sure they can fulfill your future wishes.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking about making a donation in your Will to Mission inclusion, thank you. You can speak to Kim Laporte Phaneuf at klaporte@missioninclusion.ca or 514-495-2409. You won\u2019t be held to any commitment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Make sure you have their legal names and registration numbers.<\/strong> For reference our legal name is Jules and Paul-\u00c9mile L\u00e9ger Foundation and our registration number is 118923689 RR 0001.<\/p>\n

3. Get a rough estimate of the size of your estate<\/strong> and what percentage you\u2019d like to go to family vs. charity.<\/p>\n

P.S. The Will Power legacy calculator makes this really <\/em>easy.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

4. Choose a lawyer, notary<\/strong> (if you live in Quebec or BC), or trusted online Will platform to draft your legal documents.<\/p>\n

You can find legal professionals who can help<\/a><\/span> on the Will Power website too.<\/p>\n

5. Make sure your Will\u2019s executor and your family know about your plans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

FAQs about donating to charity in your Will.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When donors find out about the option to leave part of their will to us, they almost all have follow-up questions. These (or variants on these) come up a lot.<\/p>\n

What about my family? I want to leave everything to them.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s possible to support both family and charity in your Will. Think about your Will in terms of percentages. If you set aside even 1% in your Will for charity you can make a big difference (and help pay down taxes). And you\u2019re still leaving 99% to support loved ones. It\u2019s a win-win.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have much to give. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

You might have more than you think. For example, donors are often surprised to hear that the RRSP or life insurance policy they have through work can be a smart way to give.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth taking stock of your assets. Even a modest amount can make a big impact.<\/p>\n

Do I have to be wealthy to leave a gift in my will?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No, it\u2019s actually middle-income Canadians who typically give this way. Did you know that the average donation made in a Will, from the average Canadian, is thought to be around $35,000? That\u2019s the power of gifts in Wills!<\/p>\n

How will I know what my gift accomplishes? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s true that you will not be able to see your gift in action. But when you leave a donation to Mission inclusion in your Will, you become part of the family. We share our future goals with you, and how your gift fits into the plan. Most of our legacy donors find they get closer to the cause.<\/p>\n

What if I change my mind?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Remember, your Will is not set in stone. People generally update their Will at least a couple of times in your life. You can always make changes.<\/p>\n

You might also consider tools outside your Will to make a legacy gift. For instance, you can name a charity as a beneficiary of your RRSP or life insurance policy, and make changes any time. No hassle, no fuss.<\/p>\n

Am I too young to be thinking about this? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you have any assets, you\u2019re not too young to be thinking about what happens to them. Because if you don\u2019t have a plan, the government (and CRA) do.<\/p>\n

Is this all a bit morbid? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is not about death. It\u2019s about life; and your life specifically. It\u2019s about the person you are, the values you demonstrate, and the example you want to set.<\/p>\n

Not enough people think about their legacy, and take an active role in shaping it. It can be a very empowering process!<\/p>\n
