Shares & Legacies
In addition to one-time and monthly donations, we are grateful and humbled by those considering the gifts of shares and legacy planning. Please contact our Donor Experience team with any questions you may have.
If you are considering honouring our work with a gift in your will, sample bequest wording is as follows: “ I give and bequeath to the “Indian Residential School Survivors Society” (IRSSS), Charitable Registration Number: 864829536RR0001, the sum of $ _______________ dollars to support the areas of greatest need.”
This simple wording can be added when making a new will or inserted as a “codicil” to an existing will. As always, we ask that you seek independent professional financial and legal advice prior to making any important decisions.
