Monthly Donations

Making a monthly donation is easy and affordable.  For as little as $5 per month, you can make a regular donation, saving you time and postage. With this flexible option, you can easily increase or stop your donations at any time, just by calling our office.  Monthly donations save us money as well since we will only send you a tax receipt once a year for your total gifts.  These gifts also allow us to set more predictable budgets.

Memorial Donations

Memorial donations are a meaningful way to honour the life of someone special who has passed away.  Once you have made a donation, we will inform the deceased’s family of your gift by including your name and donation amount on a list of donors.  If you wish to remain anonymous, please let us know.  If a loved one has recently passed away, please consider including Momiji Health Care Society as one of your charities of choice in the obituary notice, in lieu of people sending flowers to the funeral.

In Honour Donations

Has someone provided you with invaluable service, or has truly made a difference?  Consider making a donation in honour of that special someone.  It will be our pleasure to inform the recipient of your generous gift.

Gifts of Security

Donating publicly listed securities can be a very attractive way to make a substantial donation while eliminating the capital gains tax on these gifts.  But as with any large donation, it is best to speak to a professional financial planner before deciding if this type of donation is right for you. After consulting with a financial planner, the easiest way to make a gift of stock is to transfer the shares electronically from your account to Momiji’s account.  The value of the receipt is based on the trading price at the end of the day that the shares are received into Momiji’s account.  And perhaps best of all, you will no longer have to pay any capital gains tax.  Gifts of Securities can also be made via your will.

Matching Gift Programs

There are hundreds of companies in Canada that will match donations made by their employees to organizations like Momiji.  This is a simple but effective way to increase the impact of your gift.  All you need to do is contact your human resources, personnel or community relations office for more information and the matching gift form.  Send the completed form in with your donation to Momiji.  We will confirm that the gift has been received and will return the necessary paperwork back to your company.  We will then receive a cheque from your company.  In addition to employees, some companies match gifts from spouses and retirees.

Bequests

Legacy Gifts are well planned, tax-preferred gifts that often require a great deal of thought.  Most legacy gifts are in the form of a gift in your will (a bequest).  With a bequest you can leave a percentage gift, residual gift or a specific gift in your will:

Percentage Gift:  “I direct my trustees to pay or transfer to Momiji Health Care Society ___ % of my estate.”

Residual Gift:  Residual Gifts are made after paying off debts and other bequests.  “I direct my trustees to pay or transfer to Momiji Health Care Society the whole (or ____ %) of the residue of my estate.”

Specific Gift:  “I direct my trustees to pay or transfer to Momiji Health Care Society the sum of $________ OR I direct my trustees to transfer to Momiji Health Care Society (identify the property to be given, i.e. 100 shares of x stock).”

Life Insurance

Legacy Gifts are well planned, tax-preferred gifts that often require a great deal of thought.  Most legacy gifts are in the form of a gift in your will (a bequest) but there are other ways that you can make a difference.

You can make a substantial gift to Momiji Health Care Society with relatively little upfront cash (or even no cash, if an existing policy is donated) simply by naming Momiji as the beneficially, or owner and beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy.

There are four ways you can donate life insurance:

  1. Name Momiji Health Care Society as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Your estate will receive a tax receipt for the proceeds of the policy.
  2. Transfer ownership of a paid-up policy with Momiji Health Care Society named as the beneficiary and you can receive a current tax receipt for the fair market value of the policy or defer the tax receipt for your estate.
  3. Transfer ownership of a partially paid-up policy with Momiji Health Care Society named as the beneficiary and you will receive a tax receipt for the fair market value of the policy along with annual tax receipts for your ongoing premium payments.
  4. Take out a new policy with Momiji Health Care Society as the owner and beneficiary and receive annual tax receipts for your ongoing premium payments.

RRSPs & RRIFs

Legacy Gifts are well planned, tax-preferred gifts that often require a great deal of thought.  Most legacy gifts are in the form of a gift in your will (a bequest) but there are other ways that you can make a difference.

 Momiji Health Care Society can be named as a beneficiary of a RRSP or RRIF.  Upon your death, the proceeds will be paid directly to Momiji.  You can also name your estate as the beneficiary and leave instructions in your will that all or part of your RRSP or RRIF will go to Momiji.  A tax receipt for the value of the investment gifted will be issued to your estate.
