Make a Planned Gift
Planned giving is an opportunity to either leave money or assets to Epilepsy Calgary after your death, or invest today to receive benefits during your life, and donate the remainder after you pass.
Some planned gifts provide a life-long income to the donor, others use estate and tax planning techniques to maximize the gift and minimize its impact on your estate.
