Legacy Giving

May is 'Leave a Legacy' month!

When you are updating your will, or your life insurance coverage, leave a legacy by including Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada in your will as a beneficiary.

Shelley Fitak is leaving a legacy in honour of her husband Bob. Read her story.


 

Read about Peter and Carina Jacobsen, founders of Parkway Gardens, and their committment to the future here. They say, "we want to know the work will continue long after we are gone."



 

Your gift is your legacy of hope and compassion.

Your legacy will make a difference in the lives of people making the journey with a brain tumour and their families. You will bring hope that in the future, brain tumour research will continue to forge new treatments. Your gift for tomorrow will ensure that the support and information so critical to patients and their families will continue to be provided. In many cases, legacy gifts can help you enjoy significant tax benefits.

 Richard Seewald's beautiful Tree of Life photograph symbolizes the hope Legacy and Tribute gifts bring to those affected by a brain tumour, like his son Ben.

There are many different ways you can leave a legacy:

• Bequests
   
• Life Insurance
   
• Stocks and Securities
   
• Registered Retirement Savings Plans and Registered Retirement Income Funds
   
• Endowment Gifts
   
• Other Legacy Gifts such as Trusts and Annuities
   

It is recommended that you consult your own tax and legal advisors as well as your family when doing your tax or estate planning.
