Legacy Giving
As a caring member of our community, you can create your indelible legacy by putting your hands in the hands of bereaved children. You will be creating opportunities that will give them hope and comfort well beyond your lifetime.
When you leave a gift in your Will to Seasons Centre, you will join a special group of donors in our Legacy of Hope Giving Society. Your gift will ensure we can be there for future children and families when they go through one of the toughest times of their lives.
Leaving a gift in your Will can offer many benefits including:
- Your income today is not affected.
- Peace of mind knowing your estate is arranged.
- Ensuring your values live on and that you are creating a legacy that will make a lasting difference to the causes you believe in
1 in 14 children will experience the death of a sibling or caregiver by the time they turn 18. Grief can be a very isolating experience for children and youth. Studies show that when they receive support to work through the grief process, they are better equipped to cope with the big feelings throughout their journey and learn life long skills.
Your legacy will aid our mission to ensure no child feels alone in their grief.
How to Join Seasons Centre’s Legacy of Hope Giving Society:
Bequest in Your Will: Consider including Seasons Centre in your will. Your bequest will directly impact the lives of vulnerable children and families.
Your Bequest Could Include:
- Life Insurance: Designate Seasons Centre as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy. It’s a simple yet powerful way to leave a legacy.
- Publicly Traded Securities: Donate stocks or securities to support our mission. Your investment can create a brighter future for those in need.
We encourage you to seek independent counsel before making a legacy gift.
