Charitable Giving


 
Charitable Giving
 
When done properly, charitable giving benefits both the causes we choose to support and you, the donor.  When considering a donation we often think of cash. However, there are other opportunities such as the donation of securities and life insurance you may want to consider. 
 
If you are considering making a large gift, be certain to include these gifts in your tax, financial and estate plans and consult your professional tax and legal advisors prior to any such donation.

As a friend of the We Rage, We Weep Alzheimer Foundation, I have made available this page which examines the benefits and considerations of the various ways individuals and their families can support their favourite causes.
