Generosity Education
A POLICY FOR GOOD
GIFTS OF INSURANCE
ARE A GREAT WAY TO MAXIMIZE YOUR CHARITABLE IMPACT
ostering a vibrant city for all hinges on philanthropy.
Donors are driven by desires to enact meaningful changes in causes dear to them. Whether you’re a seasoned contributor or new to supporting Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF), we’re excited to welcome you to our latest Generosity Education segment in Legacy in Action.
Our aim is to equip donors with practical insights, empowering them to make informed decisions about their community contributions.
In this issue, our attention turns to the transformative potential of gifting insurance policies to grow or create endowment funds. Throughout the forthcoming pages, we’ll explore the advantages, guided by financial planning specialists. We’ll also spotlight ECF donors who use these strategies. We’ll show how this underused way of giving can have an enormous impact on the charities you care most about.
We trust you’ll find this guidance valuable and encourage you to engage in discussions with your financial advisors.
We’re eager to hear from you. Share with us the philanthropic areas you wish to delve deeper into. We are excited to enrich our communities together.
