Evergreen is dedicated to ensuring that Canada's cities prosper throughout the 21st century and beyond. Leaving a bequest to Evergreen is a wonderful testament to how important nature in the city is to you. Once you have taken care of your family and loved ones, we hope that you will consider naming Evergreen as a beneficiary in your will. However long it is before we receive your gift, you can trust Evergreen to put your donation to work greening urban centres across the country.

Leaving a bequest can also provide considerable tax relief for your estate. Evergreen will issue a charitable donation receipt for the value of your gift. This receipt can be used to offset income tax owing by your estate.

Consider a bequest in the form of:

• A lump sum
• A percentage of your estate
• Real estate, investments, jewellery or art
• Leaving a percentage of your estate, rather than a lump sum, is a thoughtful and convenient gesture that automatically adjusts your gift to reflect the size of your estate.

If you Already Have a Will

It's not too late to add a bequest even if you already have an up-to-date will. For a small legal fee, you can add a codicil, or an amendment, to your existing will. Contact your legal advisor for more information.
