Bequests and Estates
A bequest is a gift from your estate, a transfer of cash, securities or other property made through your estate plans. Your estate will receive a tax receipt for the amount of the bequest or fair market value of donated properties. You may also designate your gift to a specific area.
Most importantly, sharing your intentions will allow us to thank and recognize you now, while also allowing us to plan for the future.
Life Insurance
Gift of life insurance can benefit both the donor and Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare when the Foundation is named beneficiary.
Donation of Securities
Donating publicly traded securities to Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare Foundation, either while you are alive or through your estate, will exempt you from paying tax on the capital gain triggered by the donation.
Donation of RRSPs, RRIFs
When Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare Foundation is designated as beneficiary of your RRSP or RRIF, the proceeds are paid directly, thus bypassing your estate and avoiding estate administration taxes.
Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity is benefitting the charity and pays income at the same time.
