It might sound strange, but your Will can be a powerful tool to protect family and make change in this world. It’s an option most people don’t think about.

Want to see what your Will can do? Play around with the Will Power legacy calculator.

TLC is partnering with the national Will Power campaign. We are one of many charities, financial and legal advisors that are part of this initiative; showing Canadians how to make a bigger difference just by getting a little creative with their giving.

For example, did you know that leaving a small percentage in your Will to charity could result in a major donation? The kind of contribution that could seriously impact B.C.’s critical ecosystems for the better? Try Will Power’s legacy calculator and see for yourself.

You don’t use the money you need now, or take away from what your loved ones will need either. In fact, your donation could offset the taxes your family will have to pay on your behalf!

To learn more, check out the article, Donating to TLC in Your Will: the Why and the How. Or contact Lisa Cross at lcross@conservancy.bc.ca or 250-479-8053.

Stay tuned for more tips and resources in this series.

P.S. If you see TLC being part of your Will, please let us know so we can show you how best to direct your future gift. You won’t be held to any commitment.
