Your Gift in Your Will Makes a Lasting Impact
We have been blessed throughout our careers and now is the time to give back. The SSVP is our charity of choice for our legacy giving, both when we pass through our wills, and now through the life insurance policy we purchased in their name. As a result, we reduce our taxes today and the Society is assured of a gift in the future.
Michael and Donna Marasco, Victoria BC
Many of us spend a lifetime earning, saving, and giving back. But when it comes to what happens after we’re gone, too often we leave our legacy to chance.
Why work your whole life to build financial security – but not plan how it will reflect your values after you’re gone?
The benefits of planning ahead are clear:
- Peace of mind, a deep sense of fulfillment, and well-being
- Reduced family conflict
- Ensuring your legacy reflects your faith and values
- Maximized financial and tax benefits for yourself, your heir and the SSVP
Through a legacy gift to the SSVP your life’s work and your values will extend your service of love and hope. Let your legacy feed the hungry, clothe the cold, and uplift the forgotten – today and tomorrow.
Your values can live on – in action.
Ways to Give Through Your Will
- A specific amount or percentage of your estate
- A residual gift (what remains after loved ones are cared for)
- A gift of property or investments
