Leave a lasting legacy
Planned giving allows you to make a transformative impact on the MS community while aligning your charitable goals with your financial plans. There are several meaningful ways to include MS Nation in your legacy.
Gifts in your will

Gifts of securities

Life insurance

Gifts in your will
One of the most significant and flexible ways to support MS Nation is by including a gift in your will. Whether you choose to leave a specific amount, a portion of your estate, or assets such as securities or property, this act of generosity ensures that our work continues for years to come.
Why consider a bequest?
- Make a lasting impact at no cost today - A gift in your will costs you nothing now, ensuring you can continue to use and enjoy your assets during your lifetime.
- Reduce estate taxes - Your estate may receive significant tax benefits, as charitable gifts can help offset the taxes owed.
- Maintain financial flexibility - Life circumstances can change, and your will can be updated at any time to reflect your current wishes.
- Ensure your legacy aligns with your values - Help shape a world where everyone has the resources and support they need to thrive.
Types of bequests
- Specific bequest - Designate a specific dollar amount or a particular asset, such as real estate or publicly traded securities.
- Residual bequest - Leave all or a percentage of your estate to MS Nation after other obligations have been fulfilled.
If you have chosen to include MS Nation in your will, please contact us. We would love the opportunity to thank you for your generosity and ensure we fully understand your wishes. Your privacy and intentions will be respected.
Gifts of securities
Once we have Canadian registered charity status, donating publicly traded securities is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support MS Nation. By transferring stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other marketable securities directly, you can make a meaningful impact while maximizing financial benefits.
Why donate securities?
- Eliminate capital gains tax - When you donate securities directly to a registered charity, the entire capital gain is exempt from tax.
- Receive a charitable tax receipt - You will receive a donation receipt for the full fair market value of your gifted securities.
- Make a bigger impact - Your gift may be larger than if you were to sell the investments first and donate the after-tax proceeds.
Ready to donate securities? Contact us for the transfer form once charity status is achieved.
Gifting life insurance
After we have achieved Canadian registered charity status, gifting a life insurance policy is one of the most meaningful ways to support MS Nation. This approach allows you to make a significant contribution while providing financial benefits to your estate.
Ways to give through life insurance
- Name MS Nation as a beneficiary - Your estate will receive a charitable tax receipt for the value of the donation upon your passing.
- Donate an existing policy - Transfer ownership of a policy you no longer need and receive tax receipts for either the policy's cash value or future premium payments.
- Purchase a new policy - Take out a new life insurance policy with MS Nation as the owner and beneficiary.
