Endowment: The Gift of a Lifetime
The Kidney Foundation of Canada is committed to improving the health and quality of life of those who live with kidney disease. Many Canadians make a very real contribution to the success of this mission through Planned Giving options, such as our Endowment Fund.
A commitment to the Fund gives those who participate the special satisfaction of knowing that their gift will positively affect the lives of thousands of individuals, and that it will do so in perpetuity.
A gift that goes on giving
In fact, a contribution to The Kidney Foundation of Canada Endowment Fund goes well beyond a lifetime since the principal amount of your gift is invested. Only the income generated will be used to finance the Foundation's vital activities which you will find described on the following pages.
Your Endowment may be established in your own name or on behalf of a person of your choice. Often, for example, the gift is bestowed in a loved one's name as a permanent remembrance. Various tax benefits apply, depending on the manner in which the donation is made.
Flexible features give you control
A gift to the Endowment Fund, of a total minimum amount of $ 2,500, may be made in one lump sum or in payments over a five-year period. It also allows contributors to influence the application of the funding their gift provides. For example, you may designate the overall mission of the Foundation as beneficiary of your gift, in which case the income from your Endowment investment will be applied where the need is greatest as determined by the volunteer leadership. On the other hand, you may prefer to support a specific Foundation activity such as research, organ donation, patient services or public education.
An investment you can make with confidence
When you make a commitment to our Endowment Fund, you can be confident not only that your gift will tangibly improve lives, but that its value will be maximized over time by a respected investment management group guided by the policies and procedures of The Kidney Foundation of Canada.
