What is a planned donation?

A planned donation is a donation made by will or life insurance.

  • It's an opportunity to plan a charitable bequest in your Will in compliance with Quebec laws, a way of giving without having to pay out immediately.
  • It also offers significant tax benefits.
  • More and more people who are keen to help and support the work in Quebec are including a bequest to the Foundation in their wills, wishing to leave a lasting legacy for the benefit of future generations.
  • Others do so through a life insurance policy, naming the SEMBEQ Foundation as beneficiary.
  • You should consult a professional (financial advisor, notary, accountant, etc.) when planning your will.
