Other Types Of Donations |
Can
I make a gift to Lions Gate Hospital Foundation through
my Will? |
|
Yes,
your lawyer or notary can draft a simple clause as part
of your Will that creates a gift, called a ‘bequest,’ to
the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation. The gift can support
a particular program of your choice. Since bequests take
effect in the future and it can be difficult to predict
the most critical healthcare needs in the years to come,
a bequest for the general purposes of the Foundation might
be the best choice. This gives the Foundation and the Hospital
the flexibility to maximize the benefit of your gift. To
ensure that your specific intentions can be fulfilled,
please call 604-984-5785 or email us at info@lghfoundation.com.

Can
I make a donation in memory of someone? |

Yes, please enclose a note with your cheque

of the next of kin and their relationship to the deceased
and if there is a specific area you would like the donation
to be directed. All donations given in memory of an individual
will be acknowledged by the Foundation to the next of kin.
The amount of your gift will be kept confidential and you
will receive a tax receipt for your donation. To learn
more, please call our donations officer at 604-984-5785

Can I make a donation in honour
