A bequest in your will is an important and impactful way to ensure your legacy of giving lives on after you. Your gift is a reflection of your values, and we are honoured to be part of your legacy.
October 6-12 is Make-A-Will week in BC.
Giving today, creates a better tomorrow. Your support through a legacy gift will help to ensure that physicians at BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre will have access to new developments in technology, that families in BC will have the peace of mind that comes from the highest quality healthcare and that BC Women’s Hospital will remain at the forefront of medical excellence.
By making a legacy gift to BC Women’s Health Foundation, you are advocating for women’s and newborn health by supporting groundbreaking research, capital projects, state-of-the-art equipment and innovative healthcare. Your gift will make a long-lasting and meaningful difference and help transform the lives of women, newborns and families in British Columbia now and for future generations.
After you’ve provided for your family, leaving a legacy gift to BC Women’s Health Foundation is effective and simple, and provides significant and valuable tax benefits for your estate. You can leave a gift in the form of a bequest in a specific amount or a percentage of your estate, or you can designate a specific asset or a life insurance policy.
You can find simple will language below (downloadable PDF) and other resources that will ensure your donation is used as you intend. You can make an unrestricted gift that offers us the flexibility to use your funding where you may leave the most lasting legacy.
