WAYS TO GIVE

You can help us make a difference. If one of our programs strikes a chord, you can direct your donation to that specific initiative. Whether it’s helping to purchase vital medical equipment, improving the health and safety of our seniors, offering care and solace to end-of-life patients and their loved ones, or sustaining health, wellness and education programs that enrich the quality of life for the families living in our community, your support can help us change lives.

PLANNED GIVING

Leave your legacy today. A planned gift allows a donor to make a substantial gift for the future – one that’s arranged now, but is realized at a later date.  A planned gift has the advantage of not impacting your finances immediately while it offers tax benefits today. If you are thinking about leaving a legacy gift, we recommend discussing your plans with your financial advisor.

Planned Giving options include:

  • Gift by will
  • Securities / mutual funds / flow-through shares / stock options
  • Beneficiary gift (life insurance/RSP/RIF)
  • Life insurance
  • Charitable gift annuities
  • Charitable remainder trust

Legacy gifts are a vital way to help to ensure that the Annapolis West Health Foundation continues to play an important role in the health and wellness of our community.

DONATION IN TRIBUTE

A Tribute gift In Honour or In Memory of, is a meaningful way to recognize someone special in your life or in the life of someone close to you.

An In Honour donation lets you acknowledge someone for a special occasion like a birthday, wedding or anniversary. An In Memory gift lets you dedicate a donation in memory of a loved one.

When we receive your donation, the Foundation will send a personalized acknowledgement card to the family or, to whomever you designate, to let them know that a donation has been made.

Monthly giving is a convenient way to support the AWHF. Monthly payments provide a steady and predictable source of income, allowing the Foundation to plan for the future.
