Inspiring Canadians to make a gift through their Will.
Will Power is movement is building, over 3M Canadians have left a gift in their Will to charity. These are ordinary people who are using the power of their Wills to make a big difference in this world.
The trend towards “ethical Wills” has surged in the past three years. People are looking for effective ways to give back. Leaving a gift in your Will allows you to make a major contribution, without using any of the money you need now, and without disinheriting loved ones in the future.
Even 1% of your estate left to charity can result in a big gift, while still leaving 99% for loved ones. If enough Canadians got on board and donated just a small percentage of their estate to charity, it could mean as much as $58 billion for social good in this country. Together, our goal is to raise the level of charitable giving through wills to 8.5 per cent of all Canadians by 2030.
Saskatoon Community Foundation is a founding partner of the Canadian Association of Gift Planners national Will Power campaign.
