When planning for the future of your loved ones, cosider a legacy gift to LDS to provide upstream support for generations to come.
Legacy giving is a meaningful way to support our mission by including LDS in your will, estate plan or financial legacy now to ensure future generations of vulnerable, neurodivergent learners benefit from your generosity.
When you plan for your loved ones’ future, you can also make a lasting impact on our community. By including a legacy gift to LDS, you help build and sustain the Bright Futures Bursary Fund, removing barriers for children, youth, adults, and families with learning differences.
If you don’t have a will already, we recommend you seek professional help from an experienced legal and/or financial advisor to ensure your wishes are honoured. If you already have a will, it’s fairly simple to amend it.
It’s important to include our full name and charitable number in your will. Without this, we may not receive your gift.
Legal name: Learning Disabilities Society of Greater Vancouver
Charitable Registration Number: 108 166 307 RR0001
“I give [all, a percentage, or fixed amount] of [the residue of my estate, a specific cash legacy, or specific proceeds of the liquidation of an asset] to Learning Disabilities Society of Greater Vancouver, charitable registration number 108 166 307 RR0001 (the “Society”). I request that funds be used for the highest priority need as determined by the Society at the time of receipt of funds.”
Please note that we can only accept cash or cash proceeds of assets that have been liquified by the estate; we cannot accept title transfers of real property or other assets.
If you’ve included LDS in your will or estate plans, please let us know!
