Planned Giving
A partnership for changed lives
Giving to those in need always has a blessing attached to it. As
we give generously of ourselves and witness what God does with our
gifts, we discover the reward of being part of something bigger
than ourselves.
Planned giving balances your current and future needs with the
opportunity to partner with Samaritan's Purse - Canada and our
ministry. Also planned giving allows you to protect your assets
from excessive taxes and provides more for you and your loved
ones.
But just as you excel in
everything-
in faith, in speech, in knowledge,
in complete earnestness and in your love
for us -see that you also excel
in this grace of giving.
2 Corinthians 8:7, NIV
Wills
Your will is an excellent gift instrument and can be used to leave
a legacy to your favorite charities. A Will is the cornerstone to
any estate planning. It also is the last communication you will
have with your family and it is another opportunity to reaffirm
your priorities and values to them.

Appreciated Securities
You can donate almost any kind of property in many different ways.
The most significant tax benefits will be available if you give
stocks, mutual funds and bonds directly. You will receive a tax
receipt for the market value of your donated assets, and also avoid
paying capital gains taxes-a double benefit.

a person's lifetime. Prior to retirement, funds invested in
registered plans are tax deductible and then these funds grow in
the tax deferred plan. But eventually the tax has to be paid. How
might you reduce these taxes?

Real Estate
Property is often the largest asset that we own and yet it is not
easily liquidated. But with proper planning it can be donated to
Samaritan's Purse, resulting in some significant tax benefits while
providing a generous gift to ministry.

because. As well as making a tribute to your loved one, these
special gifts impact the lives of others.

prayerful consideration. If you would like to talk to someone to
