Leaving a Legacy
In addition to gifts of money there are a variety of ways in which you can support the Foundation including the following:

• A gift designated to the Bethesda Foundation in your will. Some individuals designate a percentage of their remaining assets to be given to a designated charity; others will name the charity as one of several individuals or organizations to receive equal shares of the estate.
• A gift in kind, such as a home or land.
• A gift of life insurance proceeds. A life insurance policy may be purchased designating a charitable organization such as the Foundation as a beneficiary. The proceeds of the policy will be paid to the charitable organization upon on the death of the policyholder.
• A gift of stock, bonds or other securities. An RRSP / RIF may be taxable income to your estate. Why not consider an offsetting charitable donation.
• A gift in kind. Any valuable asset such as artwork, a house, cottage, jewelry, land, etc.

The Foundation would be pleased to assist you in finding an independent legal, accounting or financial advisor to discuss your plans with. Your advisor will assist you in drafting a “gift Letter” that will outline in specific details your gift intention for the Foundation. If you have any questions or would like to discuss a gift option, please contact John Peters at 204.392.4122.
