Make a remarkable impact
A legacy gift can allow you to give more than you might be able to today.
Why consider a legacy gift?
Including TalentLift in your legacy planning is a commitment to continue changing the lives of people displaced by war or persecution for years to come.
Our work enables people to use their skills to leave refugee situations and settle “in a place that appreciates their talent, ambition and humanity.”
- Mulham, CNC Machinist and TalentLift candidate
By making TalentLift part of your legacy, you can:
Benefit from tax savings
Charitable gifts in your estate planning can help reduce or eliminate taxes after your passing.
Planned giving options
Legacy gifts are often made through your will, but there are other ways to give such as life insurance and securities.
Giving through your will
Leaving a gift in your will is the most common way to give in the future. You can choose to give a set amount of money, a percentage, or what’s left of your estate after other needs are met.
You can change your will at any time. You stay in control and can easily update it if your circumstances change.
Giving through life insurance
A gift of life insurance is a simple way to make a big difference. You can easily make this gift by naming TalentLift as a beneficiary on your existing policy.
Your estate will receive a charitable tax receipt for the full value of your gift.
Giving through securities
Donating publicly-traded securities (like stocks, bonds, or mutual funds) through your will can provide valuable tax benefits. You can choose which securities to give, or give your executor the authority to fulfill your gift with a direct donation of securities.
Your estate will receive a tax receipt for the appreciated value of the gift, and the 50 per cent tax on capital gains will be waived.
"We are grateful every day for the chance to build a better future for our family in this welcoming nation."
