Legacy Giving
Continue your giving by making the ultimate contribution—a legacy gift. Empower millions of people around the world to solve their water, sanitation and hygiene challenges now, and for generations to come.
Your legacy gift is a testament to your compassion and generosity.
When you continue your investment in CAWST with a planned gift via your estate, you’re leaving an enduring mark on the world.
Whether you give big or small, you have the power to create a lasting statement of your life. Your gift demonstrates your beliefs, values, generosity and commitment to a better future.
Choosing to make a legacy gift can be one of the most fulfilling contributions you’ll ever make, both personally and financially.
Personally, it’s a meaningful way for your loved ones, friends and community to always remember your generosity and continue to support a cause you care deeply about.
Financially, your gift provides sustainability for the future and ensures that we can continue to help more people access safe water, sanitation and hygiene for generations to come.
The power of your will
Your will is a powerful tool that gives you the opportunity to set priorities and values. Planning a legacy gift is a personal process that takes careful thought and discussion with your trusted advisors to provide the most meaningful outcome for you and your family.
Making a legacy gift doesn’t have to take away from what you plan to leave for your loved ones. Depending on how you choose to give, your estate will receive a tax credit for the full value of the gift. This helps to maximize the value of your gift and minimize the estate tax costs for your beneficiaries. This is why the most effective estate plans always include a legacy gift.
There are many ways to make a legacy gift:
Gift of Life Insurance
Gift of RRSPs or RRIFs
Gift of Securities
Gift of Charitable Remainder Trusts
A gift of cash and other valuable assets such as property, special collections, works of art, investments or bonds
Your trusted advisors can also provide you with further information regarding your options for making a legacy gift.
