Rest assured! Leaving a donation in your will makes a meaningful difference while reducing your #EstateTaxes. Whether you donate cash, land or financial assets, make sure your estate ends up where you want it: supporting loved ones & causes you care about. rvcf.ca/ways-to-give/a-beque…
If 2026 is your year of reduced emissions, we've got you! We calculate your footprint & plant local, native trees to offset it naturally. As your trees grow, they'll also provide habitat, shade & flood management as part of a thriving forest. Get started: ow.ly/aJh650XSqgg
DYK: Donating stocks, bonds or mutual funds directly to your favourite charity is financially savvy, since you avoid capital gains taxes AND receive a tax receipt for the full closing value. You can even carry over deductions for 5 years! Learn more: rvcf.ca/ways-to-give/other-p…
Updating your will in 2026? Consider a charitable bequest such as a percentage or dollar amount from your estate, or even natural lands to be protected. These gifts can offset estate taxes while leaving an invaluable legacy for the future. Details: rvcf.ca/ways-to-give/a-beque…
Want to do more for your local environment in 2026? Keeping your resolution is as easy as setting up a monthly donation! Choose your preferred fund or let us direct your donation to the area of greatest need. Get started: canadahelps.org/en/dn/11994
