Other Ways to Donate

LEARN MORE
Recognizing that some members may want to preserve their personal capital, the Foundation has an active Legacy Circle program that allows you to express your support with a planned gift. If you would like to advise us of a planned gift to the Lake of Bays Heritage or would like more information please contact us at info@lakeofbaysheritage.ca or 416.433.2174.

Life Insurance Policies
Giving through life insurance is a low cost way to give. You can donate a new policy, or change an existing policy to name the Lake of Bays Heritage Foundation as the beneficiary. Under certain circumstances, the premiums would be tax deductible to you. Upon notifying us, you will be added to the Legacy Circle as a future donor.

Including LBHF in Your Will
A commonly planned gift is a charitable bequest: a gift that is made through your will. You can choose to leave LBHF a pre-determined sum of money or a percentage of your estate. Planned today, a bequest is not realized by LBHF until your estate is settled. We are a registered charity so your estate receives the tax credit to offset taxes owing.

If you are considering a bequest to LBHF, we recommend that you explore the various donation methods to ensure your future gift is tax effective and takes your family's needs into consideration. Please speak to your accountant or legal advisor about drafting or revising your will.
