A Bequest may be the most significant gift you will ever give and by making a bequest to Christian Horizons you can leave a legacy of your faith, love and support.

A Charitable Bequest is also perhaps the simplest form of planned gift to arrange. It is a gift made through your Last Will and Testament. A Charitable Bequest could consist of gifts of cash (specific amounts), real estate or other property but usually is a percentage of your estate which is given after the estate debts and your family needs are cared for. And since taxes will likely be a big part of the final distribution of your estate, a gift at your death allows you through the benefit of the tax savings to direct a bigger percentage of your estate to the beneficiaries you choose.

Arrange a trust for Christian Horizons using cash, bonds, securities, real estate or another tangible asset. You’ll be making a gift today but still benefit from the income for the rest of your lifetime

A charitable remainder trust - like a gift of residual interest - allows you to arrange your legacy gift now and receive an immediate tax receipt, while enjoying the interest income or use of the gifted asset for life.

To establish a charitable remainder trust, you fund the gift by irrevocably transferring assets (a sum of money, securities, personal or real property) into a trust to be managed by a trustee (a financial institution, yourself or a lawyer). A trust document names the interest income beneficiary (you or perhaps your child with exceptional needs) and names Christian Horizons as the remainder beneficiary. While there may be capital gains tax payable, you receive a receipt based on the net present value of the remainder interest.

You may choose to give something other than cash or a credit card gift.

In kind gifts are gifts of property like: supplies, real estate, equipment, books and artwork. You will receive a tax receipt for the appraised fair market value determined on the day the gift is made, but we ask that you contact us before making a gift in kind, as the gift may need special handling and consideration including potential capital gain tax.  You may also choose to give this gift now or donate it to Christian Horizons through your Will.

RRIF or RRSP gifts are a tax-effective means of supporting Christian Horizons

Donating publicly traded stock and securities is a tax-smart way to support the work of Christian Horizons. You will receive a tax receipt for the full appreciated value of a donated publicly traded stock or security, PLUS Canada Revenue Agency waives any capital gains tax which would have been payable if you sold the investment yourself.

Eligible securities include shares listed on a prescribed stock exchange or units of mutual funds. The receipt value will be based on the closing trading price on the day Christian Horizons receives delivery of the shares.
