The Gift of Opportunity
Supporting education through a gift in your will ensures opportunities for students to make positive changes in our own communities and across the globe.
"Thanks to donor support I am working with an agency in Sierra Leone, which allows women in rural villages to manufacture and export goods to Canada. The profits will pay the women a competitive wage and help to educate children in the villages."
Denise Wilkins, 2010 Bursary recipient
Of life's many lessons, few are more gratifying than the act of giving back to our community.
Today more people are making a point of identifying gifts through estate planning as a secure way to support and strengthen the organizations they care about. This support will leave a lasting and positive influence for generations to come.
For more than 40 years, Fleming College has been a leader in education and a vital part of our community. Estate gifts to Fleming College enable students to pursue their goals in their area of study.
Inspired students benefit our communities both locally and around the globe through their achievements at Fleming College.
Fleming College invites you to consider giving the gift of opportunity by recognizing our college as a beneficiary in your estate planning. Your gift will positively influence the young minds of today and the community leaders of tomorrow. Whether you have a connection with the college or simply recognize philanthropy as a wise investment in our collective future, your legacy gift is a lasting statement of what you valued during your lifetime.
Bequests
As you plan your estate, you may want to continue your tradition of caring by leaving a legacy to Fleming College.
You can leave a specific dollar amount, a specific percentage, a specific asset or non-monetary gift, or you may choose to allocate a portion of the residue of your estate after you have considered your other priorities. Bequests are one of the simplest legacy gifts to arrange; potentially offering a significant reduction on the amount of income tax paid by your estate without affecting your other estate instructions.
A bequest is a current gift that is taken from future dollars but can still leave a legacy for both your family and Fleming College.
Charitable Life Insurance
A gift of life insurance provides a way for you to make a gift to Fleming College for a comparatively small initial investment while providing substantial tax benefits.
A life insurance gift:
- Makes a larger gift more affordable
- Does not diminish your estate
- Provides proceeds to the college which are not reduced by taxes or other fees
- Provides you with tax credit benefits for insurance premiums which you designate now to Fleming College
Charitable Remainder Trust
A charitable remainder trust is a way to make a secure future gift to Fleming College while retaining the investment income from the gift during your lifetime. If you have decided you would like to give an asset to support the college but currently require the income which the asset generates, a charitable remainder trust has many benefits.
