Charitable Gift Annuity

If you are age 70 or over, you may wish to consider a charitable gift annuity that will provide guaranteed income for life, usually with little or no tax.  At least 20-25% is counted as a donation to Baycrest, for which a charitable receipt is issued.
 

Charitable Remainder Trust

A charitable remainder trust (CRT) generates an income stream for life to you or other beneficiaries.  Essentially, you transfer property into a trust managed by a trustee (a financial institute, a lawyer, yourself or other individual).  Baycrest is named as remainder beneficiary.  After a prescribed period of time or upon death, the asset is transferred to Baycrest.  This allows the asset to remain with you during your lifetime, while providing you with a tax receipt. 
 

Endowment

Consider naming your family endowment in your Last Will and Testament.  This fund will continue to provide stable, reliable support for vital programs and services at Baycrest – not just today but well into the future.
