Planned giving is usually set up as part of your financial planning, tax planning, or estate planning and can be done in different ways: bequests, retirement plans and life insurance, each with different tax benefits. Planned giving has a direct impact on supporting Accueil Bonneau’s work long term. It allows us to finance our services by being less affected by economic fluctuations. The administration of planned gifts requires fewer resources and costly fundraising campaigns, thus maximizing your gift. A planned gift can take effect immediately, or in the future. It must take into account the donor’s goals, and personal, family, and fiscal situation.
