Planned Giving
In Canada, it is estimated that over 100,000 people, or 1 in every 300 people will develop
Parkinson’s Disease. In Southern Alberta, over 2,500 people and their families live with Parkinson’s.
If you wish to make a lasting difference in the lives of those with Parkinson’s, please consider leaving a
legacy or planned gift to The Parkinson’s Society of Southern Alberta. You can accomplish this in many
different ways:
-
Including the Parkinson’s Society of Southern Alberta as a beneficiary in your will
for a specific sum or portion of your estate.
-
Donating part of your assets, for example, securities, bonds, charitable gift annuities, or gift of property.
-
Naming the Parkinson’s Society of Southern Alberta as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy
-
Naming the Parkinson’s Society of Southern Alberta as a beneficiary of your retirement funds, RRSP, RRIF or pension.
The Parkinson’s Society of Southern Alberta is a proud member in Leave A Legacy Calgary, a community based
awareness campaign to encourage people to provide for the charities they support when arranging their financial and
estate plans.
There are many people who give very generously to their favorite charity while alive but may be concerned that
their contributions will be missed when they are no longer here. A gift through your will or financial plan,
however, can be your way of ensuring your favorite causes are well supported now and long after you are gone.
Surprisingly, such a gift can also be a very practical addition to a financial or estate plan when tax issues are
taken into consideration-- even for those who do not think they have tax issues.
In addition to increasing Southern Albertan’s awareness of their ability to make a legacy gift,
Leave A Legacy Calgary helps organizations like PSSA become better able to promote this option to donors.
