LEGACY GIVING

You can leave a Legacy for a Greener Future with a gift through your will, life insurance, appreciated securities or other assets. 

Legacy giving, also known as planned giving, has significant tax advantages. For instance, 100% of a bequest is credited as a charitable donation, reducing the amount of taxes owed by your estate.

Your legacy gift will have a significant impact by allowing BurlingtonGreen the flexibility to determine how your gift can best be used to protect our environment.  Your gift can also be directed to a specific area of need, such as Youth, Action, Awareness, Advocacy, or our Climate mitigation work. 

Please have your estate advisor contact us if you wish to direct your gift to any other specific purpose to ensure BG can accept the gift. Please also contact us about establishing a named fund, or making a gift of appreciated securities, life insurance or other non-cash assets.

**Be sure to consult with your legal advisor in making any changes to your will, or creating a new will.**

Acknowledging – Honouring – Acting

In Burlington, our work with the community takes place within the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and
we recognize this land as being home and the traditional territory to Indigenous people since time
immemorial.

We honour all past and present First Nation, Métis and Inuit people, and we recognize their leadership in protecting and caring for Mother Earth. We join them in honouring and respecting the land, waters, plants, animals, four directions, and all of the wonderful elements of creation that exist.

BurlingtonGreen has much to learn from Indigenous People and we encourage everyone to continually learn from and about the Indigenous community where you live, and how we can each meaningfully honour the calls to action for Truth and Reconciliation.
