Planned Giving:

 

Normally, the limit of an annual tax receipt a donor can claim is 75% of net income. Unused receipts can be carried forward for five years.

The rules are different for a taxpayer's final tax return, filed after death. Bequests to charities can be used to cover 100% of income for the final year of life. If the donor had unused charitable donation room in the previous year, any unused charitable tax receipts can be carried back one year and a refund claimed on taxes already paid.

There are many things to consider before a donor decides whether a donation should be made during their lifetime or through a bequest.  Whatever route is chosen, careful planning is important, taking into account all aspects of personal financial plans.

Ways to help the ECCC through planned giving:

 

1. Prepare a will.  Without a Will you lose control over your property at death.  Name clearly the Evangelical Covenant Church Canada (ECCC) as a benefactor of a gift in your will.

3. Leave a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate in your Will.

4. Consider using specific assets for your gift, such as:  Stocks, Bonds, Term Deposits, Real Estate, or Insurance.

5. Name the ECCC as a beneficiary of your RRSP, RRIF or pension.

6. Name the ECCC as a beneficiary of an existing or paid up life insurance policy.

7. Purchase a new life insurance policy with the ECCC as a beneficiary.

8. Remember loved ones with a memorial gift.

9. Encourage family and friends to leave gifts to the ECCC in their Wills.

 

***Always ask your financial advisor, attorney, or other professionals to assist you in your planned giving.***
