Life Insurance Donation

You already support causes that truly need it and wish you could do more? Or maybe you have a limited budget to help as much as you would like to? By using your life insurance to give back, you can continue to make a difference according to your deepest values—today and after.

Your life insurance: A powerful and generous tool

Don’t wait to do good! You can make a charitable gift within your means, whether by using your current life insurance policy, transferring a policy you no longer need, or even purchasing a new one. It’s easy: in all three cases, you just need to name the charity of your choice as the beneficiary.

There are numerous tax and other benefits associated with donating life insurance. By naming a registered charity as your beneficiary:

• You receive an immediate tax credit with every monthly or annual premium.
• You increase the value of your legacy compared to many other investment types.
• You reduce estate settlement costs and potential tax burdens.
• You protect your gift from creditors and challenges.
• You ensure your wishes are respected by your estate.

And any charity registered with the Canada Revenue Agency is eligible! You can choose an organization that reflects your priorities and interests, for example:

• Health and medical research, including the FMSQ Foundation
• Educational institutions, such as your alma mater
• Environmental protection
• Amateur sports associations
• Hunger and poverty relief organizations
• Arts and culture initiatives, and more

Even though your gift will be received later, your generosity will be recognized today!
