The Power of Planned Giving

Planned giving is a strategic way to donate to charitable causes like health care through your estate plan. One common method is a bequest, where you designate assets or a percentage of your estate to a charity, such as the Health Care Foundation in Newfoundland and Labrador. Additionally, life insurance policies, retirement plans, and other financial instruments can also be used for planned giving. These assets allow you to leave a lasting legacy by supporting medical innovation, improving patient comfort, or enhancing health care services in your community. Engaging with a Planned Giving Development Officer can help tailor your donation to meet both your philanthropic goals and financial needs, ensuring your impact lasts for generations.
