A message from Development & Alumni Relations:
Niagara College has joined with more than 80 charities, financial advisors and legal services providers from across the Hamilton-Oakville-Niagara region to show Canadians the power they have to make a powerful impact through a gift in their will to charity.
Will Power™ is a public education effort aimed at empowering more Canadians to leave a charitable gift in their will, which could raise as much as $40 billion dollars to advance the causes Canadians care about. Imagine the impact we could all make!
At Niagara College, we know that many people are committed to helping others. We see this every day through our work fundraising to support student scholarships and bursaries, instructional equipment for our classrooms and labs, and to enhance our learning environments, and we hear this in conversations with our dedicated donors. We believe it is important for more people to be aware that a charitable gift in a will is another way to make a big difference.
Wills are not just a legal means to distribute your personal assets; they are powerful tools for social change and transforming lives. And it’s not an either/or proposition – you can leave a gift in your will to charity while still taking care of those you love.
The Will Power™ campaign has launched a website designed to make it easier for donors to plan their legacy giving. Here you can calculate the impact of your legacy gift while still taking care of loved ones, and connect with advisors to take your next steps.
As always, we encourage you to contact us to learn how your future gift will make a meaningful difference in the lives of students at Niagara College.
