New! Donor Advised Spendable Fund
The Donor Advised Spendable Fund is an attractive new fund type which enables donors to make an impact in the community over several years with a fully spendable fund that also earns interest. Donors can achieve their goals for their charitable giving during their lifetime and control the timeline.

The Foundation has been near and dear to dad’s heart for a long time, and we were all very proud to support something that has meant so much to our parents.

What is the Saskatoon Circle?
For many, an estate gift is the most significant gift of their lifetime.
Donors who designate a gift in their will to one or more charities through Saskatoon Community Foundation become members of the Saskatoon Circle.
Membership in the Saskatoon Circle is for individuals who have communicated to Saskatoon Community Foundation their intention to make a future gift through a bequest, charitable trust, life insurance policy, or other estate plan.
What language should I use in my will to make a bequest?
Saskatoon Community Foundation strongly encourages every donor to consult with their lawyer on the wording used in their wills. The following language is provided only as a convenient resource for the donor and the legal counsel.
How can I donate securities?
It is easy to work with Saskatoon Community Foundation to make a donation of securities and provide financial support for one or more charities of your choice.
