How do I make a gift in my will?
Arranging a legacy gift in your will is one of the easiest ways to support the CKNW Kids’ Fund.
Here are some options to choose from:
RESIDUAL GIFT
When leaving a residual gift to the CKNW Kids’ Fund you help children with special needs while taking care of your family and loved ones. This may be the best option for you. A residual gift is a percentage of the remainder of your estate after all gifts to loved ones have been fulfilled. Also, you receive a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of your gift which may be beneficial when applied to the estate tax filings.
