What are the different kinds of gifts I can put in my will?
There are many ways to include a charity in your will, but these are the two most common:
Residual Bequest:
Commonly designated as all or a percentage of the estate’s residue, a residual bequest is made from the balance of an estate after all debts, bills and taxes have been paid and all specific and general gifts have been distributed.
Legacy Bequest (also known as specific bequest):
A legacy bequest is a gift of a specific dollar amount or asset, such as a house, car, stocks, or securities.

Hope for the holidays
Shortly before the holidays last year, the Mathia family received the best gift they could have asked for. Their daughter, Danielle, was getting the double lung transplant she so desperately needed to survive.

Why does SickKids need a new building?
SickKids is both a local children’s hospital and a global leader in paediatric health-care. We treat broken arms and appendicitis, rare brain cancers and fetal heart defects. Our patients come from across the city, province and country, and even the world for treatments not available in their home community. For children and families in medical crisis, we are a beacon of hope. We’ve always been on the frontlines in the fight for child health, but today our biggest battle is against the limits of an old building. At a time when patient volume and disease complexity are increasing, SickKids stands at a critical crossroads, severely limited in our ability to provide state-of-the-art care in an antiquated building.
Major Gifts, Endowments, and Foundations
Since 1875, private donors have led our fight to advance child care, thanks to the ongoing support of Endowments, Foundations and major gifts over $10,000.
