What is a legacy donation?
A legacy gift is a donation through your Will (bequest). You can give as much or as little as you want, and you can always change your mind. Just add a phrase about your intention using our legal name and Canadian charitable number: PAL Vancouver, 86640 7711 RR0001
Benefits:
-
Your current income is unaffected

Larger donations are able to push our organization to make big strides and extend our reach across Metro Vancouver.
A substantial impact in a local longstanding organization
Since 2002, PAL Vancouver has been operating without government funding, providing transparent and ethical charity practices.
How it works
The simplest way is to include a bequest in your will. Here is a sample of bequest wording to get you started: “To pay the sum of $_________ OR _______% of the residue of my estate to PAL Vancouver, charitable number 86640 7711 RR0001, to be applied by the charity's Staff & Board of Directors at its discretion, for the general purposes of the organization.”
Will my estate receive a tax receipt?
Yes. If you leave a gift in your will, your estate will receive a tax receipt and can claim a charitable tax credit for the full amount of your gift, up to 100% of your net income in that year. Any excess tax credit can be carried back to the previous year.
Let us know!
We would like to thank you for your donation. Letting PAL Vancouver know about your planned legacy gift will allow us to recognize your generosity during your lifetime.
SECURITIES
What is a securities donation?
Gifts of securities can be made during your lifetime or bequeathed in your will, reducing the tax burden on your estate. The process is simple: most securities are held electronically and can be transferred from your brokerage account to the charity's account, after which you will receive a charitable tax receipt. The form will include this information but just in case, be sure you include this information when communicating with your broker: PAL Vancouver, 86640 7711 RR0001
Benefits:
-
Gifts of any amount can be made now or through your will
-
Maximize the return on your investment

Your broker, to inform them of your intentions and with the instructions to initiate the transfer to PAL Vancouver’s brokerage account on your behalf.
Will my estate receive a tax receipt?
Yes. In accordance with Canada Revenue Agency, a tax receipt will be issued for your gift valued at the closing trading price of the securities on the date the shares are received in PAL Vancouver’s brokerage account. As is normal practice, the securities will be sold immediately upon transfer to PAL Vancouver’s brokerage account, and the resulting value of this transaction will not have any bearing on the amount of your tax receipt.
