Legacy & Endowment Giving

Make quality health care a part of your life story by leaving a gift to support Brightshores Health System, Markdale Hospital, in your Estate plan.

Your legacy gift is a testament to what you believe. If you share our vision for quality care available close to home, you can help ensure your hospital continues to be there for family, friends and neighbours – when they need it most.

Your Legacy Gift Will:

• • • Provide stable, long-term funding to meet patients’ needs.
    • Help purchase life-saving medical equipment.
    • Enable our physicians, nurses, and technical staff to provide the best possible care with state-of-the-art diagnostic and medical equipment.
    • Help attract the medical professionals we so desperately need in Centre Grey.

Ways to Give

There are as many ways to give a legacy gift as there are needs to be met! Your donation may be outright, providing funds for immediate use, or planned for a future date. Some options for giving include:

• • Wills and Bequests
  • Insurance
  • RSP/RIF Plans
  • Securities – Download our Securities Transfer Form for detailed instructions

Leaving a legacy gift is a generous, powerful, and surprisingly simple act! It enables you to leave a larger gift than you could during your lifetime, while remaining in control of your assets. A charitable gift in your Estate plan also helps eliminate income tax payable upon your death.

You don’t need to be wealthy to help! Your legacy gift, of any amount, joins with others to make an incredible future impact. Each gift is treated with the utmost care. Leaving a legacy is simple. Talk it over with your loved ones, then speak with your lawyer about drafting or revisiting your Will, or adding a Codicil.

Every gift makes a difference.
