Your gift to Crossroads International can create a legacy of change
Legacy gifts are not just for the wealthy, they’re built by friends, neighbours and everyday people, just like you.
A gift your Will to Crossroads International is a simple and flexible way to support the organization – even with a modest contribution, big or small, every gift matters. Your gift provides continuity for vital programs such as these:
✨ Protecting the rights and safety of women and girls
✨ Breaking cycles of generational poverty
✨ Support for women’s leadership and economic empowerment
If you’re considering a gift in your Will to Crossroads International, you’re including some of the world’s most vulnerable communities in sub-Saharan Africa in your embrace. Your bequest will empower women and girls for generations to come.
Practically, your legacy gift would enable our grassroots local partners to build shelters for survivors of gender-based violence and install systems that advocate for policy reforms that protect women’s equality and provide vocational skills that help women and youth participate in sustainable development.
Join our Legacy Giving Circle
By leaving a gift in your Will to Crossroads International, you will join a very special group of donors who have made the ultimate gift – a gift that lasts past your lifetime and provides a legacy of support for generations to come.
You can leave a gift of a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, donate assets like the remainder of your RRSP, RRIF, or TFSA, or designate Crossroads as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. It’s a simple and flexible way provide support after your lifetime without affecting your finances or assets during your life.
A common concern is that leaving a gift in your Will to a charity will lessen the amount you leave for your loved ones. But here’s the deal, when you leave a legacy gift, your estate gets a tax receipt for the full value of your gift, which adds a tax credit to your final income tax return. This can help your beneficiaries get the most out of your residual estate.
