PLANNED GIVING

The deep levels of satisfaction of making a significant contribution combined with the tax benefits some planned gifts can provide are of interest to many. If you have a desire to make the world a better place and the personal satisfaction thus obtained, the following options will be of interest.

Wills and Bequests

Planning your will is one way of ensuring you provide for those you care about. In addition to planning for those you love and depend on you, your will also allows you to benefit The Centre for Esoteric Studies through a gift of money, property and other assets.

Charitable Gift Annuities

A charitable gift annuity is a way of donating an irrevocable gift to The Centre for Esoteric Studies in return for guaranteed income for the rest of your life. The portion of your gift not used to provide the annuity income is used by the Society as you direct.

Gifts of Insurance

A gift of life insurance is a simple, thoughtful and often overlooked way to make a gift to The Centre for Esoteric Studies. Insurance allows you to make a substantial gift without taking on a large expense.

Gifts of Securities

Changes announced in the 1997 Federal Budget make it much more attractive to donate gifts of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, bills, futures and other publicly-traded securities to The Centre for Esoteric Studies.

Charitable Remainder Trusts
& Gifts of Residual Interest

If you have cash or an asset that you have considered leaving to The Centre for Esoteric Studies in your Will but would like the tax benefit now, then a charitable remainder trust or a gift of residual interest may be your answer.
