At Big Brothers Big Sisters of PEI, we offer several meaningful ways for you to support our mission. Your generous contributions help us make a significant impact on the lives of young people in our community. Here are some alternative methods of giving:
Gift of Shares
Donating publicly traded securities, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, is a tax-efficient way to contribute. By giving the Gift of Shares, you may receive a charitable tax receipt for the full market value of the securities at the time of the donation and avoid paying capital gains tax.
Estate Gifts
Leaving a legacy through your estate is a powerful way to ensure that Big Brothers Big Sisters of PEI continues to thrive for years to come. You can include a bequest in your will, designating a specific amount or a percentage of your estate to our organization. Estate gifts can also include residual bequests, contingent bequests, or gifts of property.
Life Insurance
Another impactful way to donate is by naming Big Brothers Big Sisters of PEI as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy. You can choose to transfer ownership of an existing policy or purchase a new policy with us as the beneficiary. This method often provides tax benefits during your lifetime while ensuring a significant future gift to our organization.
Each of these methods not only provides substantial benefits to our programs but also offers various financial advantages to you. By considering these alternative ways to give, you can make a lasting difference in the lives of the children we serve.
