When you include a gift to George Jeffrey Children’s Foundation in your future plans, you're helping ensure that kids with physical, developmental, and social needs continue to receive expert care and support—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

 

Ways to Leave a Legacy

There are several simple and meaningful ways to plan a legacy gift.

Bequests

Leaving a gift in your will is one of the most thoughtful and flexible ways to support our work.

• You can leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after other gifts are made

• Your estate will receive a charitable tax receipt, which can help reduce taxes owed

• You can make changes to your will at any time

Life Insurance

A life insurance policy can turn small, manageable premiums into a larger gift that will make a real impact.

You can:

• Name George Jeffrey Children’s Foundation as the beneficiary of an existing or new policy

• Transfer ownership of a policy and receive immediate tax benefits

• Create a lasting legacy with little or no cost to your estate

RRSPs, RRIFs, or TFSAs

You can name George Jeffrey Children’s Foundation as the direct beneficiary of your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF).

• Your gift goes directly to the Foundation and avoids probate

• Your estate will receive a charitable tax receipt

• This can significantly reduce the amount of taxes your estate owes

Your legacy gift will support the programs, therapy, equipment, and care that children rely on at George Jeffrey Children’s Centre. It means brighter futures, stronger families, and healthier kids across Northwestern Ontario.

When you leave a legacy gift to George Jeffrey Children's Foundation you can take comfort in knowing 100% of your gift will stay in Northwestern Ontario to ensure children and youth with special needs have every opportunity to live their lives to their fullest.

George Jeffrey Children's Foundation recognizes those who have given legacy gifts by displaying their names on the Lasting Legacy Wall in the lobby of George Jeffrey Children's Centre.
