sector—and donors like
you—will always be needed
to ensure that no one is left
behind," she says.
Making a legacy gift is a
powerful way to make a dif-
ference for the causes closest
to your heart. Non-profit orga-
nizations like Family Services
of Greater Vancouver can be a
trusted partner as donors look
to ensure that their values
live on.
BURNABY HOSPITAL
FOUNDATION
Gifts through Burnaby
Hospital Foundation's
Legacy Giving program help
transform care for loved
ones through the purchase
of vital life-saving medical
equipment. Legacy gifts
ensure that Burnaby Hospital's
team of dedicated healthcare
professionals has access to
modern technology so when
community members need
care, Burnaby Hospital is
equipped.
"A legacy donation in support of healthcare is a
gift that benefits the entire community, ensuring a
bright and healthy future," says Kristy James, Presi-
dent & CEO at Burnaby Hospital Foundation. Burn-
aby Hospital is a community serving a community.
The Foundation bridges the gap between what the
government provides and what the public needs.
"Our purpose is to ensure that Burnaby Hospital is
equipped in every way to advance the health of all
generations," James says.
Burnaby Hospital Foundation is proud to col-
laborate with industry experts, such as lawyers and
financial advisors, to educate the community about
legacy giving. Additionally, the Foundation hosts a
prominent partnership with Will Power, a national
campaign encouraging Canadians to think differently
about their charitable giving. Donors are encouraged
to visit willpower.ca/charities/burnaby-hospital-founda-
tion to learn more and access unique tools to support
you in creating your lasting legacy.
When someone makes a gift through their will, a
charitable tax receipt is issued for the estate, which
ultimately can help ease or eliminate income tax
payable upon their passing. "These prospective tax
savings can assist with preserving more of their assets
for loved ones," James says.
A legacy gift is one that will live on by fundamen-
tally impacting the lives of countless individuals and
their families.
"Leaving a legacy gift is an act that is generous,
influential, and remarkably simple," James says. "It
allows people to leave a greater gift with life-changing
influences, something that is often not feasible during
one's lifetime."
