How to Give

Leaving a Legacy

Leave a Gift That Will Change Lives

Legacy gifts are vital in making sure that Sunnybrook is here when it matters most, now and in the future. You have the potential to do something extraordinary. When you include a gift to Sunnybrook in your estate plan, you can be confident your gift is supporting important work in your community, as well as the future of health care.

There are many legacy alternatives; one is right for you. We are happy to help you explore which type of gift best suits your budget, and your goal.

A gift of publicly listed securities to Sunnybrook qualifies for special benefits with changes in income tax regulations announced in 2006.

Name Sunnybrook as the partial or full beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy or RSP / RRI F, and this gift will pass outside of your estate, so it is protected from probate or creditors.

Receive an income tax receipt for the annual premium payments by naming Sunnybrook as the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy.

Charitable Gift Annuities

If you currently receive income from GICs, you may be interested in purchasing a charitable gift annuity. Your income is guaranteed for life, and is virtually tax-free.

Charitable Remainder Trust

An effective way to provide you with guaranteed income for life, this is a deferred gift, so the proceeds from arranging this gift now will be realized by Sunnybrook in the future.

The decision to leave a gift to Sunnybrook in your will may take place at any stage of your life. Any time is the right time. This is when it matters most.
