In Memoriam donations

A bequest on behalf of the Foundation .
Even though it’s a task many people put off, making a will is the best way to ensure that your wishes will be carried out according to your desires. In the absence of specific arrangements, your assets will be distributed according to the Civil Code. By making a will, you can be assured that proper arrangements have been made on behalf of the people for whom you are responsible. Making a donation or bequest in your will allows you to preserve your financial security while leaving a lasting legacy to the Hôpital Louis-H. Lafontaine Foundation.
The donation may be a specific bequest (a fixed sum or percentage of your estate, a real estate property, artwork, company shares, etc.) or a bequest of the remainder of your assets (a percentage of what remains of your estate; thus, any change in the value of your estate affects the actual value of the bequest). It is also possible to make a conditional bequest (bequeath a particular asset only in the event that one or more of your heirs passes away). For further information about this method of making a donation, please contact the Foundation
A life insurance policy with the Hôpital Louis-H. Lafontaine Foundation as the beneficiary.
A life insurance donation allows you to make a greater donation than you might think. You can:
- take out a new insurance policy, designating the Foundation as the owner and irrevocable beneficiary. You’ll benefit right away from a tax credit for the donation equivalent to the annual premium paid to maintain the policy. The Foundation will receive the death benefit.
- transfer an existing insurance policy that is no longer useful by designating the Foundation as the owner and irrevocable beneficiary. You will receive a donation receipt for the cash value of the policy.
- add a second beneficiary in case the primary beneficiary passes away before you. This allows you to ensure that the death benefit will not be lost, while investing in a cause that is important to you.
The advantage of donating a life insurance policy is that it offers a simple method of making a significant contribution while reducing the amount of tax you pay now. Moreover, this type of donation does not reduce the value of your loved ones’ inheritance. For further information about this method of making a donation, please contact the Foundation.
