• Make a gift in memory or tribute. You may make donations to HOPE in memory of a recently deceased loved one. You may choose to make contributions to HOPE each year on the anniversary of the passing of a family member or friend. (In Memoriam envelopes are available from the HOPE Centre and many funeral homes.)
• Leave a Legacy. Individuals who choose this option usually leave a bequest in a will, a gift annuity, or a life insurance gift to the HOPE Cancer Help Centre. There are requirements and may be limitations to leaving a legacy. We advise anyone wanting to leave a legacy, and to take advantage of the tax benefits, to consult with a qualified individual to ensure you understand limitations and requirements and understand all the options of leaving a legacy.
