Legacy Gifts
Make your legacy one of lasting positive change
Your will can play a pivotal role in helping Indigenous students complete secondary school, realize the dream of post-secondary education, receive mentorship and develop the skills to build thriving communities.
A simple way to create greater impact
One of the benefits of planned legacy giving is that it allows you to give a greater level of support than might be possible right now and will support Outside Looking In’s mission well into the future. These types of gifts can also provide tax advantages that can benefit your estate.
Gifts of any type and size
Legacy gifts come in contributions of all sizes, and can be designated however you wish. Making a bequest in your will is the most common gift of this type, which also includes gifts of life insurance, registered retirement savings, securities, annuities and remainder trusts.
