The Gift of a Lifetime: Autism Calgary Association Planned Giving Program

Planned giving is a way for you to make a donation through your will. Autism Calgary Association encourages its supporters and donors to make “The Gift of a Lifetime”. Your charitable gift may be donated to fund current requirements, or if you wish, it can be designated ‘in perpetuity’ and Autism Calgary Association would use only the interest the donation earns. A Charitable Gift Tax Receipt is issued for your donation and may provide sizeable tax benefits to you and to your estate. Before you decide, speak with your Insurance Agent, Tax Advisor or Professional Planner for the best option to suit your specific circumstances. Here are some things you may want to consider.

  • Prepare a will and consider leaving a gift in your will for Autism Calgary Association
  • Consider using both cash and assets for your charitable gift. Assets could include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, term deposits, real estate, vehicles, art, jewellery, or insurance.
  • Charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts: are these right for you?
  • Name Autism Calgary Association as a beneficiary of your RRSP, RRIF or pension.
  • Name Autism Calgary Association as the beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy.
  • Purchase a new life insurance policy naming Autism Calgary Association as the beneficiary.
  • Remember loved ones with memorial gifts to Autism Calgary Association
