Leave a Legacy of Nourishment
Support Ottawa’s future with a gift that feeds generations.
When you join our Tomorrow’s Harvest Planned Giving Program, you make a meaningful, lasting impact against hunger in Ottawa. Your legacy gift helps ensure that no one in our community goes without food today, tomorrow, and beyond.
Whether through a bequest, life insurance, or securities, your support helps us build a more food-secure future, while also offering significant tax benefits for you or your estate.
Bequests (Gifts in Your Will)
Including the Ottawa Food Bank in your will is one of the most powerful ways to give.
- Leave a legacy of dignity, care, and hope for future generations.
- Provide charitable tax credits to your estate
- Support future generations with dignity and care
Life Insurance Gifts
Name the Ottawa Food Bank as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
- The gift goes directly to charity
- Circumvents probate
- Tax receipt benefits go to your estate
Gifts of Securities
Donating publicly traded securities is easy, tax-smart, and impactful.
- No capital gains tax
- Immediate charitable receipt
- Simple transfer process
Eligible Gifts Include:
- Stocks & mutual funds
- Bonds & futures
- Stock options & warrants
RRSP Gifts
Leaving an RRSP in a will allows you to specify who will receive the RRSP assets after your death, either as a beneficiary named in the will or as a beneficiary designated in the RRSP contract. If no beneficiary is named, the RRSP will be included in your estate and distributed according to the terms of your will.
