H O W T O M A K E A L E G A C Y G I F T: A legacy gift is a planned future donation, given through a will or other form of designation. Your gift to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation could be the most meaningful investment you will ever make. A legacy gift is more than a donation. It is about perpetuating your values, beliefs and strong desire to make a difference. A bequest is a celebration of joy, values and life. A bequest through your will provides you with an opportunity to make a major gift with a significant impact upon your death. It also provides a deep sense of joy and partnership during your life – knowing your gift will significantly impact critical cancer research and patient care, and allowing you to direct your gift to an area of specific interest to you. We would love to talk with you about your legacy planning. We would welcome sharing what we do at CancerCare Manitoba Foundation, what opportunities are available and how your gift will change the course of cancer in Manitoba. Most importantly we would like to share with you today what your generosity will make possible tomorrow. • Engage the advice of professionals, i.e. a lawyer, accountant or financial advisor. These people will ensure your will truly reflects your wishes, is accurate and legally binding • Choose an executor of your will – someone you trust and rely on to carry out your wishes • Make a list of your assets and decide how you would like to divide them • Decide on the type of gifts you would like to make. In addition to bequest/estate gifts, there are gifts of life insurance, real estate, stocks or mutual funds • Keep your will in a safe place
