We raise charitable support from companies and employees moved by a sense of altruism and love to help fight poverty and injustice.

Monetary : Companies can give cash in any amount, either one-time or ongoing. Companies can support child sponsorships monthly or one of our causes (Poverty, Hunger, Health, Education, Gender Equality and Water).

In Kind: Companies can donate products and services that help us enhance our programs in the field or offset our operational and fundraising costs.

Employee Giving: Employees can be encouraged to give through donor programs, matching funds and other incentives, which enhances staff engagement and positive regard for their employer.

Benefits of planned giving: Choosing to leave a gift in your Will has significant benefits:

• Tax Relief: Depending on the type of asset, leaving a gift in your Will to Light for All Canada can significantly reduce estate taxes.
• Flexibility: Your gift can be for any specific amount, percentage or residue of your estate.
• Peace of mind: You can make adjustments to your Will at any time.
• Cost-effective: There are no extra out-of-pocket costs. Your current income won’t be affected.

Gift in Will

Make Light for All Canada a beneficiary in your Will and know that your legacy will live on for generations. All it takes is a simple clause in your Will. In addition, a tax receipt for the full amount of your donation will be issued and may offset capital gains or other taxes payable to lessen the financial cost on your estate.

• Life Insurance: Gifts of life insurance are a great way to make a substantial donation for the relatively low cost of the premium payments. You can donate a policy you already own, make Light for All Canada the beneficiary of a joint policy held with your spouse, or buy a new policy to donate.
• Retirement Funds: Retirement funds are likely among the most heavily taxed assets you own. Naming Light for All Canada as a beneficiary can be an effective way of creating a tax-smart estate plan. By naming Light for All as a beneficiary, you retain ownership of the funds, receive a tax receipt for the full amount donated, avoid probate fees, and reduce your overall estate taxes. You can have a tremendous impact when you donate to Light for All  programs for Health, Education, Gender Equality, Poverty and Hunger in some of the world’s most vulnerable places.
• Endowment Funds: You can create an endowment fund by donating substantial gifts of cash or assets. Endowment funds may be pooled, and individual endowments may require a minimum contribution. When you create an endowment, your donation is invested for a minimum of 10 years, and the income is used to support Light for All  programs. You may direct your endowment toward the child sponsorship program (but not to your sponsor child or a specific sponsor child), or you may allow us to use the funds where most needed. Either way, you’ll change the world for children, families and communities in need for future generations to come.
