Legacy Giving

Through a planned gift to Camp Oochigeas, you can leave your own mark on the world by helping to bring the magic of camp to children affected by childhood cancer.

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual fund units is the most tax-effective way to make an outright gift during your lifetime or as part of a legacy gift.

You can make a legacy gift through any of the following ways:

• Appreciated Securities: Donate appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, flow through shares or stock options and take advantage of the best tax benefits
  
• Bequests: Make a gift to Camp Ooch through your will. Planned today, a bequest benefits Camp Oochigeas after your death
  
• Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRT):  A life income gift that enables you to give today (with immediate tax savings) while retaining use of the asset
  
• Donor Advised Funds:  Support multiple charities and avoid the complications of a private foundation
  
• Life Insurance: Use an unneeded policy or create a new policy to make a donation
  
• Property: Make a substantial gift to Camp Ooch through a transfer of residential, commercial, or undeveloped real estate or a gift of jewelry or art
  
• RRSP/RRIF Funds:  Make a gift to Camp Ooch by changing the beneficiary information on your RRSP or RRIF

By carefully planning your bequest, you can eliminate significant taxes payable upon your death.  Your estate may claim gifts in the year of your death equal to 100% of your net income in that year and the year preceding death.
