Did you know that you have options when it comes to your charitable giving? When supporting your favorite charitable causes, many of us think of making a cash donation. But there are other options too – which, with a bit of planning and professional advice, can make a significant impact on our favorite causes. Why host a fundraiser?

1. Gifts of Securities and Stocks
Gifts of securities are one of the most popular ways to make a difference in your community.

2. Gifts of Insurance
Gifts of insurance are another option, where your small premiums can mean a transformational gift to Alzheimer Calgary. To make a gift of life insurance, you can transfer ownership of a policy, create a new policy, or change the policy beneficiary to be Alzheimer Calgary. To learn more about Gifts of Insurance, the Canadian Association of Gift Planners (CAGP) Canada offers a free Guide for Donors (available here).
Reach out to your insurance provider today to learn more – and you can help ensure families can find the support they need when facing a dementia diagnosis.
3. Your Will & Legacy Gifts
Dementia diagnoses are increasing at alarming rates, and more families will need our help in the coming years. You can ensure Alzheimer Calgary is here to help, now and into the future.
By choosing to leave a gift in your will, you are making a powerful choice to ensure local families never have to face a diagnosis alone.
