LEAVE A LEGACY™
LEAVE A LEGACY™
began in Central Ohio in 1996 and has already been replicated in eighty
communities in Canada and the U.S. To date, it has been implemented in
Halifax, British Columbia, Manitoba and Southwestern Ontario, and plans
are under way for programs elsewhere across Canada.
Here in Waterloo-Wellington Regions, our
LEAVE A LEGACY™ program is being spearheaded by the Canadian Association of
Gift Planners (CAGP), an association of registered charities and estate
and financial planning professionals. The program will benefit all
charitable organizations, large and small. It will involve a large
education component for volunteer boards and development professionals.
Smaller organizations will be helped to prepare policies and procedures to
accept and steward the gifts they will receive.
