Legacy Giving: Ways to Make a Difference

There are a few ways to include the Fredericton Community Foundation in your will, helping to create a lasting impact for the community:

  • The easiest way to leave a legacy gift is by naming the Fredericton Community Foundation as a beneficiary in your will or living trust. You can specify a dollar amount, a percentage, or the remainder of your estate after loved ones are cared for.

  • Donating a life insurance policy can make a significant gift at a low present cost. You can name the Foundation as a beneficiary, transfer ownership for tax benefits, or take out a new policy with the Foundation as the beneficiary and receive tax credits on premium payments.

  • By naming the Foundation as a beneficiary of your RRSP or RRIF, you can make a meaningful contribution that benefits the community and offers tax advantages for your estate.
