Leave a legacy of hope

By including Mary's Meals Canada in your will or estate plans, you can help ensure that future generations of children receive the daily meals they need to learn, grow and thrive.

A legacy gift is a powerful way to leave a lasting impact while continuing to care for the people and causes that matter most to you. Your gift can help children facing hunger today and for years to come.

Why leave a gift in your will?

A planned gift is more than a financial contribution. It is a lasting expression of your values and a commitment to creating a better future for children around the world.

Your legacy can help:

  • Provide daily school meals to children living in some of the world's poorest communities.
  • Support education by encouraging children to attend school and stay in the classroom.
  • Create lasting change for families and communities for generations to come.

 

Ways to leave a legacy

There are many ways to support Mary's Meals through planned giving, including:

  • A gift in your will (bequest)
  • Naming Mary's Meals Canada as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy
  • Naming Mary's Meals Canada as a beneficiary of your RRSP, RRIF or TFSA
  • Gifts of publicly traded securities
  • Other estate planning options

We encourage you to speak with your lawyer or financial advisor to determine the giving option that best fits your circumstances.

 

 

I pray that, one day, there will no longer be a need for Mary's Meals but I have included a legacy to the charity in my will as I know that day is far in the future but not out of reach. I want to reach as many communities with meals as possible!

Tax benefits of planned giving

A planned gift can make a meaningful difference for children while also providing valuable tax benefits for your estate and loved ones.

Depending on the type of gift you choose, your estate may receive charitable tax credits that can help reduce taxes owing. Gifts of publicly traded securities may also eliminate capital gains tax, allowing more of your donation to support Mary's Meals while maximizing the tax advantages available to you.

Because every situation is unique, we recommend speaking with your lawyer, accountant, or financial advisor to understand how a planned gift can best fit your financial and estate plans.

We're here to help

If you are considering a legacy gift or have already included Mary's Meals Canada in your estate plans, we would be honoured to hear from you and ensure your wishes are carried out as you intend.
