A planned gift allows you to transfer the amount of your choice to a cause that matters to you. This generous gesture allows the Foundation to continue its activities for the benefit of the visually impaired and blind community.

BEQUESTS OR DONATIONS BY WILL

A will allows you to make specific personal provisions for you or a loved one, or to plan a partial or total donation of property. The estate will receive a receipt for the value of the donation.

Donations by will that the Foundation has had the great privilege of receiving in recent years help ensure the well being of the blind and visually impaired. The Foundation is extremely thankful for this gesture that comes from the heart and carries good far beyond a lifetime.

STEPS TO MAKE A DONATION BY WILL

Choose from the following options:

  • PIX to illustrate planned donations (hand writing "testament)Specify an amount of money or a percentage of the value of your property to give to our organization in your will

  • Appoint an organization as the beneficiary of an RRSP, RRIF, or pension fund
  • Appoint an organization as the beneficiary of your life insurance policy

Finally, you can share your decision with the organization and your family. This will help others understand your last wishes, enforce them, and possibly encourage your loved ones to follow your gesture. Whatever the amount donated, it is a way to help us continue our mission. Thank you!
