Bequest: Make a gift to the Foundation through your last will and testament. In any charitable bequest, be sure to name the recipient accurately; e.g. "Greater Peterborough Health Services Foundation".
Charitable Remainder of Trusts:
Gifts of charitable remainder of trusts enable you to give today (with immediate tax savings) while simultaneously retaining use of your asset. A gift of trust is made to the Foundation by contributing cash or other property. Throughout your lifetime, you receive income from the trust, but upon your death, the "remainder" will pass directly to the charity you name as the beneficiary. The primary beneficiary includes you, and if applicable, your spouse. Throughout your lifetime or for a stated period of time you will receive a predetermined amount of the trust; upon death the Foundation will receive the remainder of the trust. A charitable investment fund where a donation is permanently invested and the income supports the Foundation each year. Give the gift of life insurance when you name the Foundation as the beneficiary. One alternative to a bequest in your Will is the donation now of an insurance policy on your life. It may be an existing policy you no longer need or one bought specifically for donation. Typically, it will be a whole life policy that has a cash surrender value. You control the policy, and the Foundation would receive the insurance proceeds upon death. When you gift property, buildings, land, or a place of residence that you own to the Foundation. This gift can be given immediately or specified in your will. A gift of residual interest is made when you decide to give the property in which you reside or any other property (art, jewellery, valuables, etc.) to the Foundation. You can continue to use and enjoy the property throughout your lifetime, and will receive a charitable tax receipt for the present value of the property when the gift is made. Upon death, the Foundation receives the deed of the property. These gifts are made to the Foundation by changing the beneficiary information on your RRSP or RRIF. This means that upon your death the organization would receive the proceeds and your estate will receive a charitable receipt. Changes in the 2000 federal budget allow a plan holder to name a charity as a beneficiary of an RSP/RIF and to qualify the bequest as a charitable donation. In addition, when a charity, is named beneficiary on the RSP/RIF, the assets are paid directly to the charity upon the death of the plan holder, and probate taxes can be avoided. Donate appreciated stocks, bonds, GICs, or mutual funds and take advantage of the best tax benefits. When you donate shares to the Foundation, there is no capital gains tax on any benefit received from the sale of these securities.If you wish to donate listed securities, you can obtain our "Letter of Direction" form by clicking here or by contacting the Foundation Executive Director Hannah Routly at (705) 740-8074 or hannah.routly@gphsf.ca.
