Legacy Giving

By Andrea Rennie

R“Are you at a life stage where creating a legacy for your family and others is important and more front of mind?” eality is that anyone, at any stage in life, can create a legacy which may include considering a planned gift to a charitable organization that holds special meaning.

Creating a charitable planned gift is not complicated nor costly. There are no loss of assets or fees associated with doing this. However, the tremendous future impact on programs and services it can have to an organization like The Kidney Foundation on Canada is priceless.

Other benefits include the tax relief it provides to the donor’s estate, helping to minimize taxes plus the fact it does not affect what one’s heirs or loved ones would receive from an estate.

There are various ways to make a planned gift so please reach out. We are a resource for you if The Kidney Foundation of Canada holds special meaning for yourself, a family member, or friend who is considering this type of legacy giving in their estate planning.

It’s not about having a conversation about death but about a vision for the future and the impact a planned gift can make to an organization like The Kidney Foundation of Canada and the 1 in 10 Canadians who are living with kidney disease.

You might know that nutrition has an immense effect on our physical health, but did you also know that the food we eat can impact our mental wellbeing as well?

The brain, which controls our thoughts and emotions, needs fuel to function properly. This fuel comes in the form of nutrients found in our diet and the food we consume. If the brain doesn’t receive the proper nutrients, the result can be an unwanted change in our mood and sleep pattern. An inadequate diet can also make us feel lethargic and slow our decision-making abilities.
