WILLS AND BEQUESTS

Giving is a personal act and a personal statement. Giving is how you tell the world what is most important to you. We are honoured to be part of your legacy.

Your Impact

Philanthropy is a reflection of your values and of your legacy. Its importance grows as you age, build and establish your life, and contemplate your future.

By naming BC Women’s Health Foundation in your will, you are continuing the fight for inequitable healthcare.

You are funding women’s health research. You are supporting the capital projects, programs, and equipment of BC Women’s Hospital. You are advocating for women’s health issues. When a woman flourishes, so too will a family, a community and entire societies. It is a beautiful, exponential ripple effect.

Types of Investments

By leaving a legacy gift in your will, you declare that you believe in a future where every woman is seen and heard by the healthcare system. Your generous, tax-wise investments may be made with a bequest, through a gift of designated retirement funds, or as part of a structured estate plan.

Take the First Step

It’s simple. Whether or not you already have a will, the easiest way to include a gift in your will is with assistance from a professional, such as an attorney specializing in wills, a legal advisor, or a financial advisor.
