A movement is building across the country. Over 3 million* Canadians have left a gift in their Will to charity. We’re not talking about celebrities or wealthy philanthropists, these are ordinary people who are using the power of their Wills to make a big difference.
This trend in “ethical Wills” has surged in the past three years, and it’s no surprise. With so much change in the world highlighting new and growing needs, people are looking for effective ways to make a big impact.
As Niagara's philanthropic partner, we see this trend growing across the Region but we know the opportunity to increase our impact is great. This is why we are pleased to share with you some upcoming partner events.
Join us and will help spread awareness about how we can turn our intent into impact through legacy giving.
