Grandmother, mother and daughter sitting on a dockCanada is a nation with vast wilderness – soaring mountains, calm fresh water, raging rivers, sweeping forests and abundant wildlife. No matter where you live – be it in the city or the country – you can experience the outdoors and all that it has to offer through gardening, hiking, fishing, canoeing, camping, biking, birdwatching, swimming, wildlife photography and so much more.

For more than 50 years, the Canadian Wildlife Federation has been making a strong and enduring connection between Canadians and wildlife.

You may connect with nature during an early morning paddle on a peaceful lake, while watching a tiny hummingbird flit about the blossoms in your garden, or during a leisurely walk through a park on a crisp winter day.

More and more Canadians are choosing to make a tribute gift to honour a loved one or to ensure that their own memory lives on by making arrangements for a future gift that provides an important and valuable source of support for the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s programs.

Bequest

Bequest

A bequest or specific gift through your will is easy to make.  It can be done as an amendment to an existing will, or built into a newly crafted will.  Bequests are convenient because they do not cost you anything during your lifetime.  


Gift of Life Insurance 

Gift of Life Insurance

A gift of life insurance can be done by naming the Canadian Wildlife Federation as a beneficiary of an existing policy, or by taking out a new policy specifically to create the gift.  


Gifts of Securities

Gifts of Securities

Gifts of Publicly Traded Securities such as stocks, bonds, shares, income trusts offer you the advantage of making a significant gift to the Canadian Wildlife Federation and may provide tax benefits. 


RRSPs/RRIFs

RRSPs/RRIFs

RRSPs and RRIFs may be giving as a legacy gift by naming the charity as the beneficiary.  This allows the donor to ensure an easy transfer of funds, as well as providing a tax receipt of 100% of the RRSPs/RRIFs on the final return. It may also provide significant tax benefits.
