Leave a legacy
How do you want to be remembered?
Leaving a charitable will bequest is one of the most valuable and thoughtful gifts that you can choose to make.
Including charitable giving within your will also comes with significant tax advantages. A charitable will bequest can reduce taxes owing once passed away. This results in an increase of the inheritances to loved ones.
Donate securities and/or mutual funds.
You can give a gift of publicly traded securities and avoid incurring the capital gains tax. By donating directly to The Kettle Society, you can reduce your tax bill and at the same time empower the lives of vulnerable people in our community by providing housing, employment, mental/physical health & community services. You can donate securities or mutual funds securely through CanadaHelps, our trusted partner, who will process the donation on our behalf.
