For over 30 years,- Calgary Seniors has been supporting older adults through connection, care, and kindness. A gift in your Will, however large or small, ensures that future generations of seniors will never face poverty, isolation, or hardship alone.
You don’t need to be wealthy to leave a legacy. You simply need to care. And if you’re reading this, you already do.
The most common type of legacy gift. You direct a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a named asset to Calgary Seniors through your Will. Bequests can be specific (a set dollar amount), residual (a percentage of what remains after other obligations), or contingent (activated only if certain conditions are met).
Sample language: “I give to Calgary Seniors’ Resource Society, charitable registration number 886737352 RR0001, the sum of $_________ [or ___% of the residue of my estate] to be used at the discretion of the organization in support of its mission.”

You can name Calgary Seniors as the beneficiary of an existing or new life insurance policy. This is a cost-effective way to make a significant gift using regular premium payments, and may provide tax benefits to your estate.

By naming Calgary Seniors as a beneficiary on your registered savings accounts, your funds can transfer directly to the organization outside of your Will. This can significantly reduce taxes your estate would otherwise owe.

Donating publicly traded shares or mutual funds directly to Calgary Seniors eliminates the capital gains tax you would pay if you sold those assets first, meaning more of your gift reaches the cause you care about.
