Discover the Different Types of Donations

There are many ways to outsmart cancer.

Monthly Gift

A monthly donation provides consistent support, allowing you to make an even greater difference. It is an easy and affordable option, offering the flexibility to change your donation at any time.

In-Memory gift

Making a donation in memory (in memoriam) of a person upon their passing provides comfort to their loved ones. It’s also a meaningful way to advance cancer research.

In honor gift

You can make a donation in honor of someone who has overcome cancer, celebrating life. Similarly, you can commemorate a birthday, a party, or another special occasion in honor of an important person with a meaningful gesture — a donation.

A LEGACY OF GREAT IMPACT

In addition to supporting cancer research, a planned gift offers substantial financial benefits not available through other types of donations.

Together with your financial or legal advisor, we can create a strategy that aligns with your philanthropic goals while considering your personal and financial situation.

Legacy gift

Generous people choose to make a hopeful gesture for future generations. Regardless of the amount, a legacy gift becomes a significant support for the CRS in fulfilling its mission.

GIFT OF SECURITIES

You can donate eligible securities — stocks, bonds, units of mutual funds, bills, futures contracts, or exchange-traded securities — and benefit from exceptional tax measures associated with this type of donation.

Life Insurance Donation

Most people acquire life insurance to protect their loved ones, but did you know it’s also a simple and flexible way to make a significant donation at a lower cost?

Donating an RRSP or RRIF

Another way to donate upon death is by giving a part or all of the holdings held in a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF). These retirement funds are typically heavily taxed. A receipt will be issued to the estate for the amount transferred to the CRS.

DONATION OF GOODS

This type of donation includes real estate, special collections, cultural assets, and artworks accompanied by certificates of fair market value. Please note that these donations require approval from the CRS before acceptance.

Creating a fund

Creating a Fund is an exceptional way to honor or perpetuate the memory of a loved one, allowing an individual, family, or group to support a specific field of research continuously.
