Reasons to Give - Your Lasting Legacy

Planned Giving... Gift of a Lifetime

Planned gifts are a sound investment that benefits you and your family today, while serving your community for a lifetime. This is made possible because planned gifts - like a bequest in your Will - help others for years to come, but yield significant tax advantages now.

There are many reasons why a person will choose to make a planned gift - a lasting gift to the Lung Foundation of Saskatchewan. Among these are:

• They are directly affected by lung health issues.
• Someone in the family or someone close to the person and/or their family has died from or has been affected by lung disease.
• The person is aware of the excellent work we do and want to ensure that work continues to benefit others.
• The person wants to make a lasting contribution and leave a strong legacy in the community.
• The person sees that it is the right thing to do.
• Being a person of faith and means, they see it as an opportunity to make a difference or give back.

All donations to the Lung Foundation of Saskatchewan fully qualify for charitable tax credits provided by the federal and provincial governments. The net effect is that planned gifts, in addition to enabling the work we do, will generate significant tax benefits for the donor and their family.

Donors are advised to consult their legal or financial advisors who can guide them in choosing the best way to make a gift that fulfills their current needs and future wishes. A representative from the Lung Foundation of Saskatchewan will be pleased to meet with donors to discuss gift possibilities.

All assets of the Lung Foundation of Saskatchewan will be professionally managed to achieve a balance between long-term security of capital, asset growth and a level of annual income that will allow for the funding of vital programs, services and research.
