Gift of Securities 

Donate stocks, mutual funds, or other marketable securities to benefit from tax advantages.

Gift of Life insurance 

Gifts of life insurance are a great way to make a substantial donation for the relatively low cost of the premium payments. You can donate a policy you already own, make World Vision Canada the beneficiary of a joint policy held with your spouse, or buy a new policy to donate.

Gift of Retirement funds 

Retirement funds are likely among the most heavily taxed assets you own. Naming World Vision Canada as a beneficiary can be an effective way of creating a tax-smart estate plan.

By doing so you:

• retain ownership of the funds
• receive a tax receipt for the full amount donated
• avoid probate fees
• reduce your estate taxes

World Vision programs help communities in some of the world’s most vulnerable places. We provide safe water, emergency relief, agricultural assistance, education and more. Donating to World Vision Canada lets you leave a tremendous mark on the lives of many.

Gift of Endowment funds 

You can create an endowment fund by donating cash or assets. Endowment funds may be pooled, and individual endowments may require a minimum contribution.

When you create an endowment, your donation is invested for a minimum of 10 years and the income is used to support World Vision programs. Your endowment may be used where they are most needed. It may also go directly toward the child sponsorship program but not to a specific sponsored child. Either way, you’ll create a lasting impact on children, families and communities in need.
