Bequest

One of the most tax effective ways to leave a legacy is by naming Hospice Kingston as a partial or full beneficiary of your RRSP or RRIF.

A charitable tax receipt can be applied up to 100% of net income in the year of death and the preceding tax year.

Life Insurance Policy

Hospice Kingston can be named as the beneficiary or owner of a life insurance policy, whether the policy is fully paid up or premium payments still remain. Making a gift of life insurance enables you to make a large future gift to Hospice Kingston without financial impact during your lifetime. Various charitable tax deductions may also apply to gifts of this type.

RRSPs and RRIFs

One of the most tax effective ways to leave a legacy is by naming Hospice Kingston as a partial or full beneficiary of your RRSP or RRIF.

A charitable tax receipt can be applied up to 100% of net income in the year of death and the preceding tax year.

Gift of Securities

Donate appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, flow-through shares or stock options and take advantage of tax benefits.

A gift of securities is a cost-effective opportunity to transform an asset into immediate and significant support for Hospice Kingston.

By donating publicly traded securities, you eliminate the capital gains tax that becomes payable if you were to sell the appreciated securities on the market. Hospice Kingston’s policy is to sell the publically traded shares immediately. A tax receipt will be issued for the market value on the date of transfer.
