The Gallery accepts legacy gifts to help sustain its excellent level of programming and exhibitions. Legacy gifts are a means of contributing to the Gallery, with the donor benefiting financially during their lifetime. Legacy gifts provide donors with the following benefits:
- The opportunity to contribute to a cause during their lifetime while seeing the results of their generosity in action
- Charitable tax credits can be maximized to reduce final income taxes
- Donations of shares of Canadian cultural property, listed appreciated securities, or annuities may provide donors with additional tax benefits during their lifetime
- Donors could be eligible for immediate charitable tax receipts or reduced taxes on their estate
- By contributing to the Gallery today, donors can continue to enjoy KWAG's activities and personally share the results of their generosity with others.
The Gallery can accept support in many forms:
- Cash gifts either in a lump sum or over a defined period of time
- Bequest in a Will
- Specific Bequest or Legacy
- Residual Legacy or Bequest
- All of the Residue
- A Gift of Real Estate
- A Specific Bequest or Gift of an Item of Property
- Investments such as RRSPs, securities, or shares
- A gift through a life insurance policy
- Gifts in memory of a loved one
For additional information on any of these options, you may arrange a personal appointment with our Development Coordinator, Cera Frederiksen, by emailing cfrederiksen@kwag.on.ca or calling 519-579-5860 x 221.
