Leave a Gift in Your Will
Will you help change the world?
The Honourable William G. Davis Legacy of Learning Circle is a thoughtful group of donors who leave a planned gift to TVO in their will.
This is the most kind, influential, and surprisingly simple gift you might ever give. It’s a gift that leaves a legacy beyond the years you live on earth and establishes a stable future for future generations of Ontarians to achieve new goals through learning.
Leaving a gift in your will is easy. After you take care of your loved ones, it is our hope that you will consider starting a legacy of learning by leaving a gift to TVO. Speak with your family, friends, and lawyer to determine if this is the right decision for you.
There are many approaches to remembering TVO in your will and we are here to help you along the way:
A Bequest
A bequest is a direction in your will that instructs your executor(s)/trustee(s) to leave one or more of your assets to a charitable organization(s).
Life Insurance
Paying modest premiums now can create significant value in the future. By donating a new or existing policy, you can derive tax benefits during your lifetime. If you name TVO as the beneficiary of a policy you own, after your passing, your estate can realize the associated tax benefits.
RRSPs/RRIFs
By naming TVO as the beneficiary of your RRSP or RRIF, you will be making a generous gift and offsetting the tax that would otherwise be payable on these assets by your estate.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Charitable remainder trusts let you give assets today through an irrevocable trust and obtain immediate tax savings while providing you with a life income from the earnings on the assets. When the gift is made, you receive a charitable tax receipt for the present value of the gift that you may use in the year of the gift or carry forward for up to five years. When you pass, the capital is transferred to TVO.
Choosing who to include in your will is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. If providing powerful, free and inspiring educational content to all of Ontario is important to you, please consider remembering TVO.
Donors who leave a planned gift to TVO will be recognized in The Hon. William G. Davis Legacy of Learning Circle. Members of this circle will be recognized in TVO’s Annual Report, online at tvo.org, and in other communication materials.
