Please speak with an advisor
We will happily provide information and assistance to you on this and other ways you can support the efforts of the Church community you belong to. However, the ultimate responsibility regarding your finances, tax implications of donations, and/or legal local, provincial or federal regulations rests with you and your legal or financial advisor. We strongly encourage you to seek independent advice from an advisor who specializes in incorporating philanthropy into estate and legacy planning, when making any decisions about making lasting gifts.
