5 Myths About Planned Giving

Myth 1: You have to be wealthy.
Planned giving is for anyone who wants to make a difference—no matter the size of the gift.

Myth 2: Your family will receive less.
Legacy gifts are arranged after your loved ones are taken care of.

Myth 3: It’s too complicated.
Most planned gifts are easy to arrange with a few lines in your will or a change to a beneficiary form.

Myth 4: I have to tell the charity.
You don’t—but letting us know helps us honour your legacy.

Myth 5: A small gift doesn’t matter.
Every gift creates impact. Every act of compassion shapes the future.

Your legacy can save lives. It can create peace in someone’s darkest moment. It can be the voice that answers a call when no one else does. If you’re ready to start that conversation, we’re here.

Our Impact The topic and word "suicide" is not so scary after taking a training from the Crisis Centre of BC. I'm grateful to have been here today, and am hopeful that I can help people in the future. safeTALK participant, Agassiz
