Preserve The Future
Preserve the Future
through a
planned gift, leaving your own legacy to the environment by
supporting an organization that you know and trust. Once
you have taken care of the needs of your family and loved
ones, you may also wish to consider making a positive impact
on the world by leaving a charitable bequest to The
Pollution Probe Foundation. It may be one of the most
valuable gifts that you make.
By planning your
bequest, you can eliminate significant estate taxes. Your
estate may claim gifts in the year of your death equal to
100 per cent of your net income in that and the preceding
year.
There are many ways to leave a lasting legacy. Discussions
with your family and your legal and financial advisors can
help you to determine which option is best for you:
Bequests
through your will are the easiest way to include Pollution
Probe as part of your legacy. Your lawyer can help make
sure that your will meets your obligations and represents
your interests.
Life Insurance Policies
provide a powerful gift with big benefits. Small annual
installments can provide a substantial gift, your estate is
not affected and the gift is not diminished due to taxes,
probate or administration fees. You can choose to donate
through an existing policy or a new one.
Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs)
are irrevocable
trusts that provide income for two sets of beneficiaries, in
this case, you and Pollution Probe. You receive a tax
receipt from Pollution Probe now, while earning interest
income from the investments during your lifetime. A
financial advisor can help you to determine how to establish
a trust that best suits your wishes and circumstances.
Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) and Registered
Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs)
are excellent
options both for the amount that you can give and the tax
benefits that you receive. You can make a gift to Pollution
Probe by naming it as the beneficiary under your RRSP or
RRIF.
