Planned Gifts to CHEO Bring Hope for our Children and Youth
Making a planned gift to CHEO is a wonderful way to recognize the far-reaching impact that CHEO has on our community, one young person at a time. From tiny babies to young adults in their late teens, our patients represent our community’s most cherished hopes and dreams. Every child at CHEO benefits from the support of a planned gift.
At CHEO, we dream about cures, prevention, and treatment for childhood diseases and injuries. By planning your gift, you will ensure that your hard-earned assets will continue supporting the efforts of CHEO’s medical staff and researchers to bring health and hope to generations of young people in our community.
There are many ways of making a planned gift; one will be right for you and your situation.
A planned gift can be made today and received today, or it can be planned today and received in the future as a legacy gift. Gifts can take the form of cash, cheques, or credit card donations, or you can leave a bequest to CHEO in your will, give stocks and securities, or make your gift through a life insurance policy, or a trust. By planning your gift, you can safeguard your income and look after the needs of your family, because many of these options can offer increased tax savings.
Please let us know if you name the CHEO Foundation in your estate plans. By letting us know ahead of time, we can make sure your gift is used in the way you wish it to be used, including the possibility of establishing an endowment fund in your name.
The CHEO Foundation recommends that you consult your legal and financial advisor in any matter concerning estate or planned giving. The CHEO Foundation treats all inquiries in strict confidentiality and has professional Planned Giving staff and materials to assist you or your advisor.
