We are pleased to announce to our friends and supporters the introduction of our expanded Planned and Asset Giving program. This expanded program offers you a variety of new ways to support us so that we may continue our work today and in the years to come. Two components of the program, Charitable Gift Annuities and Will Legacies, are already well-established sources of income for Scarboro Missions.

We invite you to take advantage of these additional opportunities to help us raise much-needed funds for our work. Please take the time to review our expanded list of gift options below:

Planned and Asset Gifts:

  • A Cash Donation
  • A Charitable Gift Annuity assists the work of Scarboro Missions while providing you with a guaranteed pension income.
  • A Will Bequest or Legacy
  • A Life Insurance Policy for yourself or for family members with Scarboro Missions named as the beneficiary.
  • Assets such as art, antiques and collections.
  • Securities such as stocks, bonds, GICs or mutual funds.

The above are subject to varying degrees of tax benefits.

We welcome the opportunity to show you the potential benefits of making a gift to support our work. Personal discussions, visits, or written presentations incur no obligation on your part, and all information discussed is confidential. We also plan to host Planned and Asset Giving presentations at Scarboro Missions commencing this fall. Please use the Information Request Form to indicate your interest in attending a presentation or in finding out more about our gift options.

Upon receipt of your information request, our fundraising consultant will contact you to answer your questions, provide you with detailed information pamphlets and, if appropriate, arrange a meeting with you. Our consultant will also be pleased to meet with your family member, legal advisor, accountant, insurance agent or financial planner to discuss and explain your choice of gift to Scarboro Missions, including tax advantages.

We look forward to receiving your completed Information Request and we thank you for your continued support of our work.
