A bequest in your will is one of the ways you can help Anishnawbe Health Toronto provide healthcare and healing for the Indigenous community in Toronto. Anishnawbe Health Foundation has partnered with Will Power, a national movement to educate Canadians on the power they have to make a difference through their Wills. Did you know that just a small percentage of your estate left to Anishnawbe Health Foundation can have a big impact, while still leaving the majority for loved ones? Choosing to support Anishnawbe Health Foundation can also reduce and, in some cases even eliminate, the taxes to be paid.

Take a look at the free resources and tools on the Will Power website to learn about the common myths surrounding gifts in Wills, the potential tax benefits, and more.

Gifts of a new or existing life insurance policy can be made naming Anishnawbe Health Foundation as the beneficiary. This support builds towards a sizeable gift in the future by making relatively small premium payments today. You may also choose to make the Foundation the owner of an existing policy and receive a tax receipt for premium payments.

Anishnawbe Health Foundation can be named as the beneficiary of a RRSP or RRIF.

Establishing an endowment fund is another way to support Anishnawbe Health.   These investments are overseen by the Foundation’s Board of Directors and can provide a perpetual source of income for programs and services at Anishnawbe Health.
