A gift in your will is a future gift that is also known as a bequest.  The donation is made in the future through your estate.  It is an easy way to support Baycrest that can result in significant tax savings.  

Making a bequest is as straightforward as updating your will or creating an estate plan.  Of course, many of us hope that our legacy will be one that touches family and friends, but it can reach beyond that to the community and the next generation.
