Planned Giving – Leaving a gift in your will
Remembering the Boys & Girls Club of Ottawa in your will or through your life insurance provider is generous, influential and easy. This form of giving allows you to support the Club with a substantially larger gift than would be possible within your lifetime. This method of giving allows you to donate securities, cash or a percentage of your estate. For more information please contact Jonelle Istead, Chief Advancement Officer.
Gifts In-Kind
The Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa graciously accepts some tangible gifts in-kind including craft and school supplies, and gift cards. Please note: we do not accept drop off in-kind donations. Please contact fill out the fillable form to make arrangements for drop off.
Gifts of Securities
In 2006, the federal government eliminated capital gains tax on donations of publicly traded securities (stocks & mutual funds). Donations of securities let you make a greater impact with your donation and receive a larger tax benefit. Click here to find out how to donate gifts of publicly traded securities and Mutual Funds.
