Welcome to the YFC Canada Foundation
The purpose of the Foundation is to support Youth for Christ / Youth Unlimited Chapters in Canada. This provides a donor the option of designating a gift which can be held in trust by the Foundation and designated to the ministry as requested by the donor.
For example, a donor in Edmonton Alberta, may wish to give a gift of $100,000 to the Edmonton YFC Chapter but wants the gift to be spread out over a 10 year period. There is a discussion with the donor concerning the gift and an agreement by the Foundation before accepting the gift. If accepted, the gift is held in trust and monies will be distributed according to the wishes of the donor to that Chapter.
If you are considering leaving the Youth for Christ Canada Foundation in your Will, your legal advisor will need to know the following information:

The joy of generosity – the what, why and how of planned giving
You’ve seen the ads, read the stories and watched the commercials about legacy giving but are unsure what it means and how it’s done and whether it is the right thing to do.

Your Will and the Next Generation
Many of us want to leave a legacy for the next generation. We share our faith, love, experience, and encouragement.
A well-crafted will can also be part of that lasting and meaningful legacy. When you plan thoughtfully and strategically, you can give your loved ones more than just money: you can teach them about generosity, responsibility, financial accountability, and wise tax planning.
In this webinar hosted by our partners at Advisors with Purpose, you will hear one family’s experience with passing on a legacy of good financial stewardship, including money management, debt, and living generously, and the strategies that are available to you as well.
They will discuss RRSPs, vacation properties, trusts, talking to your family, choosing an executor, living wills/personal directives, charitable giving, and powers of attorney. What a wonderful gift this would be for your family and the next generation.
