Other ways to Give

Charitable giving can combine a sense of personal satisfaction with significant financial benefits through tax credits or, for businesses, tax deductions. The following information provides an overview of some additional charitable giving options available to Canadian donors. This is a general guide and does not address the many issues that can apply to individual situations. We suggest you consult with your legal and tax advisors before finalizing a significant charitable gift.

Gifts of Public Securities

Gifts of public shares or mutual funds are a tax effective way of giving if the securities have a capital gain and they are transferred directly to C-FAX Santas Anonymous Society. The donor receives a charitable tax receipt for the full market value of the gifted securities, but for tax purposes none of the capital gain is included in the donor’s income.

Remembering us in your Will

A charitable bequest is a gift in your Will that the Society receives after your death. Consult with the Society before establishing your bequest to ensure your wishes can be carried out as directed in your Will.

Gifts of Life Insurance

By using life insurance, you can make a significant gift to C-FAX Santas Anonymous Society with a minimal outlay of current savings or income. There are many ways that life insurance can be used to structure charitable gifts, but here are the two most popular:

You can donate a new or existing policy by transferring ownership to C-FAX Santas Anonymous Society. Upon transfer, the Society will issue a charitable tax receipt for the cash surrender value. In addition, you will receive a charitable tax receipt for any premium payments you make following the transfer if the policy is not yet fully paid for. This gift is irrevocable and creates tax benefits for you during your lifetime. Therefore, your estate will not receive a charitable tax receipt when the policy proceeds are paid to the Society after your death.

Alternatively, you can designate C-FAX Santas Anonymous Society as the beneficiary of a policy without transferring ownership of the policy. On your death, the Society will receive the policy proceeds and your estate will receive a charitable tax receipt. In this situation, your premium payments are not eligible for a charitable tax receipt. The policy proceeds will go directly to the Society and will not be subject to probate and other estate fees. The beneficiary designation is revocable and can be changed at any time.
