A Bequest in Your Will
A carefully written will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes. The residual interest in your estate or a cash bequest for a specific amount of money can be a legacy to those who have shared in and enriched your life. A bequest in your will – to Parkinson Society Central & Northern Ontario or one of its regional partners – can help you give back to your community.

A Gift of Life Insurance
You can make a significant gift with your life insurance policy – either signing over an existing policy, or purchasing a new policy naming Parkinson Society Central & Northern Ontarioas sole owner and beneficiary.

A Charitable Remainder Trust
You can transfer property to a trust, naming Parkinson Society Central & Northern Ontario as the capital beneficiary.

A Gift of Residual Interest
You can make a gift in your lifetime (or a testamentary gift) of the residual interest in a property. You can continue using the property for life or whatever time you choose, donating what remains.

A Gift Annuity
A gift annuity means you can donate money today and ensure you have a stable income for the rest of your life. When you make a cash gift, Parkinson Society Central & Northern Ontario purchases, on your behalf, an annuity designed to suit your personal needs and pays you a lifetime income. When you pass away, the principal goes to Parkinson Society Central & Northern Ontario  to benefit the lives of people with Parkinson’s.
