Support
Looking to commemorate an important event, or to honour a special
individual or just be part of the community recognizing the need for
such services as Regesh is providing? Regesh Family and Child
Services is the perfect “address!”
Regesh often caters to a population that is unable to afford services
and we are looking to make all of our programs affordable for
everyone. Therefore, we rely on the generosity of people and
corporations to come forward to assist in our cause. What better
way to honour a child than by donating to the continuation of their
education and/or treatment?
Feel free to select one of the options on the right, to contact us for a
list of the various programs that are open for sponsorship, or to
inquire about a general donation.
All contributions will receive a full tax-deductible receipt.
Cheques should be made out to "Regesh Family and Child
Services" and sent to:
Regesh Family and Child Services
149 Willowdale Avenue
Toronto , Ontario M2N 4Y5

Gifts of Shares and SecuritiesTax changes have made donating publicly listed
securities such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds an attractive option for many
individuals. Effective May 2, 2006 the Federal Budget reduced the Capital Gain
Inclusion Rate from 25% to 0 on the donation of publicly traded shares to Charities.
Based on a $1,000 donation of shares to the Charity, the total tax assistance derived
by donating stocks results in significant savings to the donor:

Wills & Bequests
Gifts by Will are becoming more popular as an increasing number of people include Regesh
Family & Child Services as a beneficiary. It's one way to support Regesh when it might not
be financially possible during your working or retirement years. A bequest is a revocable gift
that can be amended at any time. Charitable gifts made in a Will are deemed made in the
year of death. The charitable tax credit is therefore received by the estate and can offset any
tax owing from the estate.
If you are about to draft a Will or make changes to your current Will, your lawyer can
include a bequest to Regesh Family & Child Services. You can leave a specific amount, a
particular asset, a percentage of the value of your estate or the residue of your estate after
all other bequests have been made.
Gifts of Life Insurance
Giving a gift of life insurance is a wonderful way to show you care. This type of gift often
allows a person of modest means to make a donation much larger than they might have
been able to make during his or her lifetime. Instead of contributing annually to Regesh, a
donor directs funds to insurance premiums. As such you would receive a charitable receipt
for each premium payment made. A gift of this type generates immediate and future tax
relief for a donor and does not diminish your estate.
You can transfer ownership of an existing policy to Regesh Family & Child Services. Donors
considering the transfer of a life insurance policy should obtain professional advice
concerning the income tax consequences of such a transfer. You can take out a new policy,
making Regesh Family & Child Services the owner and/or beneficiary. If Regesh is named
both the owner and beneficiary, you will receive a charitable receipt for paid premiums; if
Regesh is named beneficiary only, your estate will receive a charitable receipt for the full
value of the gift.
