Leave a gift that will change people's lives:

• Gift by will
  A simple provision in your Will to leave a gift of your assets to Sunnybrook.
• Securities / mutual funds / flow-through shares / stock options
  A gift of publicly listed securities to Sunnybrook qualifies for special benefits with changes in income tax regulations announced in 2006.
• Beneficiary gift (life insurance/RSP/RIF)
  Name Sunnybrook as the partial or full beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy or RSP / RRI F, and this gift will pass outside of your estate, so it is protected from probate or creditors.
• Life insurance
  Receive an income tax receipt for the annual premium payments by naming Sunnybrook as the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
• Charitable gift annuities
  If you currently receive income from GICs, you may be interested in purchasing a charitable gift annuity. Your income is guaranteed for life, and is virtually tax-free.
• Charitable remainder trust
  An effective way to provide you with guaranteed income for life, this is a deferred gift, so the proceeds from arranging this gift now will be realized by Sunnybrook in the future.
