Leaving a gift in your Will to the
Stratford Perth Hospice Foundation is the simplest way to leave a legacy of care and compassion.
DONOR SPOTLIGHT
THE POWER OF A GIFT IN YOUR WILL
“…although I hope to not leave this earth anytime soon… I have been thinking about a worthy recipient. The Rotary Hospice came to mind.”
Did you know that only 5% of Canadians leave a gift in their will to charity? Imagine the difference if we all did this – regardless of the amount.
​
For monthly donor, Wilma Ferguson, including Stratford Perth Hospice Foundation as a beneficiary in her will was an easy decision – and it was easy to do. Wilma became a monthly donor after hearing from a friend who “couldn’t help but gush over the extraordinary attention her husband received at Rotary Hospice.”
​
Thank you, Wilma, for your tremendous dedication, and our thanks to all of you considering this type of gift – what a legacy to compassionate end of life care for this community.
Although the process is easy, we understand that there are a lot of things you will want to consider before you make or update your Will including:
​
-
Can I leave a gift to charity and also make sure my family is taken care of?
-
Should I leave a percentage or a specific amount? How much?
-
What are the steps to make this happen?
-
What information do I provide to my lawyer or financial advisor?
​
We’ve put together an information booklet that we hope will help.
Please note, when considering a gift in your will, we encourage you to consult your lawyer or estate planner and family.
