Through the help of Link Charity Canada, we are able to offer gift annuities. When you donate a capital sum to Link Charity, Link in return guarantees you regular payments at a very attractive rate for the rest of your life.

Charitable Gift Annuities:
1. Guaranteed Income
Once the rate is set, it is set for life. These payments can not be outlived. There is no risk and no worry.
2. It Requires No Management
You do not have to watch investments, interest rates, maturity dates, the stock market, the economy and so forth. Your payments are sent to you automatically and regularly.
3. Your Gift Annuity Income is Tax Exempt
According to CCRA (formerly Revenue Canada), all or a large part of your gift annuity income is tax exempt. Especially for middle and higher income persons, the yearly tax savings are very significant.
4. Immediate Charitable Receipt
Since January 1, 2003, all annuities generate an immediate charitable receipt of at least 20% of the capital amount.
5. A Gift to Transform Lives
At the end of your life, when you no longer require payments, the remainder of the gift annuity capital will become a gift to EICanada to transform lives around the world. This is more efficient than a bequest because it is not a part of your estate, therefore avoiding probate fees, executor fees, legal fees or delays.
Gifts of Securities
Due to the elimination of capital gains on donations of publicly traded securities in 2006, giving a gift of securities is now the most tax efficient way to make a charitable donation and allows donors to make a greater impact with their life transforming gift.
You can now donate securities to EICanada through Link Charity or online through CanadaHelps.org. Read more on gift securities through CanadaHelps by clicking here.
