There Are Ways To Give to the Northwestern Alberta Foundation at a Later Date
Bequest
Including a charitable bequest in your will is a simple way to make a lasting gift to your community. When you make this gift through a community foundation we establish a fund that becomes your personal legacy of giving. Alternatively, estate gifts can be directed to one of our existing funds supporting a cause that is important to you.
How It Works
We can work with you and your team of Professional Advisors (lawyers, accountants, financial/insurance advisors) to recommend appropriate language for the gift in your will, as well as provide any additional information required to ensure your wishes are met.
For example:
To Give Where The Need is Greatest
To give [ $ / % / the residue] of my Estate to [Northwestern Alberta Foundation], (Charitable Registration Number xxxxxx) to establish a permanent fund known as the . Annual grants shall be made at the discretion of the [community foundation] in accordance with the charitable objectives of the foundation.
To Give To Charitable Causes Close To Your Heart
To give [ $ / % / the residue] of my estate to [Northwestern Alberta Foundation], (Charitable Registration Number xxxxxx) to establish a permanent fund known as the . Annual grants shall be made at the discretion of the [community foundation] taking into consideration my interests in .
Tips for your Will
When including any charity in your will be sure to include the following:
- Full legal name of the charity;
- CRA charitable registration number;
- Any specific direction for use of the gift.
Northwestern Alberta Foundation can help determine the type of fund that’s right for you. There are several choices depending on how much direction you want to provide about the purpose of the fund, and whether you want future family generations to be involved.
Upon your death, the fund will be set up in the name you have chosen for it.
Your gift is invested professionally, and a portion of the total value of the Fund is available each year for distribution to any registered Canadian charity.
Northwestern Alberta Foundation takes care of all of the administrative details for the fund.
You can make your gift through a donation of cash, appreciated securities, RRSP, RIF, TFSA, or other assets.
At the time a gift is contributed, it is eligible for a charitable tax credit for estate tax purposes.
We are very grateful to you for supporting the work of the Northwestern Alberta Foundation. For more information on ways to give, contact our Development Manager Brittany Kelsey at brittany@nafgives.com or (780) 538-2820.
