A program in Canada of the Canadian Association of Gift Planners (CAGP•ACPDP™), LEAVE A LEGACY™ is a collaborative effort of donors, charities, non-profits and professional advisors, to raise awareness of the importance of thoughtful, well-planned, tax-wise gifts and their impact on the quality of life in our communities. The LEAVE A LEGACY™ program is designed to benefit all charities and not-for-profit groups large or small.

More than 62% of Canadians contribute to charitable organizations throughout their lifetimes. However, research shows that only 7% continue this support through a gift in their will or estate plan. The intended result of the LEAVE A LEGACY™ program will be an increased number of planned gifts from donors to charitable organizations. By making a charitable gift as part of an overall estate plan, individuals can continue to help organizations that are making an important difference in their community. When we leave a legacy, we ensure that help continues to be there for those who need it.
