Gift in a Will
With prior planning, your Will can provide for your family as well as enrich the lives of residents of St. Ann’s Senior Citizens Village.
To ensure your wishes are fulfilled, we advise you to seek professional advice from your lawyer, financial planner, and/or estate planner related to options for your gift and clear Will language. Talking to your loved ones and us about your plans is also beneficial to all involved.
Options for a gift in a Will, sometimes called a bequest, include leaving a particular sum of money, a specific asset such as property, or a certain percentage of your estate.
Your estate will receive a charitable receipt for the gift, which reduces the taxes owed.

Donors who decide to leave a gift in their estate are invited to join the Keeping the Promise Honour Roll. To find out more download the PDF card.

Gift of Life Insurance
People usually buy life insurance to protect their loved ones. Those with an interest in enhancing the quality of life of more than their family may name charitable organizations, like St. Ann’s Senior Citizens Village, as beneficiaries.
If you like the idea of making a chartable donation via life insurance, your options include:
- Donating an existing life insurance policy involves designating St. Ann’s Senior Citizens Village Corporation (our legal name) as the owner and beneficiary of an existing policy that you no longer need. You will receive a charitable receipt for the policy’s cash surrender value. If further payments are required, you will receive a charitable donation receipt for the payments you make after St. Ann’s becomes the owner and beneficiary.
- Donating a new policy purchased with St. Ann’s Senior Citizens Village Corporation (our legal name) as the owner and beneficiary. If you choose this option, you will receive a charitable donation receipt for the full amount of all premiums paid.
- Naming St. Ann’s Senior Citizens Village Corporation as beneficiary of a policy enables the death benefits to be paid directly to the Village. This entitles your estate to a charitable donation receipt, avoids probate taxes, and minimizes the risk of creditor claims against the estate.
We recommend you discuss the life insurance options with your family and your professional advisors.

Gifts of Shares or Mutual Funds
Transferring securities from your brokerage account to St. Ann’s Senior Citizens Village eliminates your capital gains tax. This generates greater tax saving than if you sold the securities and then donated the cash proceeds.
Before you make a donation of securities in the form of shares or mutual funds, we recommend that you seek professional advice from your tax or financial advisor. Topics to discuss include Canadian regulations that enable down market capital losses to be carried back three years and forward indefinitely to offset capital gains.

Gifts of RRSPs, RRIFS, TFSAs
Your estate is entitled to a charitable donation receipt, when you name St. Ann’s Senior Citizens Village Corporation (our legal name) as the direct beneficiary of a RRSP, RRIF or TFSA. The receipt equals the amount paid to St. Ann’s upon your death.
This option avoids probate taxes and minimizes the risk of creditor claims against the estate.
Setting up such a donation is as simple as asking your financial advisor or financial institution to change the beneficiary to St. Ann’s Senior Citizens Village Corporation (our legal name).
