Benefits of Planned Giving
Planned gifts can take many forms such as gifts in a Will, or gifts of cash, stock, real estate or other property. By planning your giving, you can realize valuable tax savings and benefits.
These donations can allow you to:
- Consider the financial needs of a spouse or loved one
- Reduce your income tax and/or avoid capital gains
- Increase your current income
- Make a larger charitable gift than you thought possible
Gifts in your Will
By making gifts in your Will to TLC you are helping our ongoing efforts to save vital habitat for wildlife throughout B.C. Your legacy gift will not only carry on your conservation goals after your lifetime but will also result in a tax receipt to your estate that can be used to reduce any taxes owing.
