Legacy Giving - Halton Women's Place

Legacy Giving

For 45 years, Halton Women’s Place has provided safe emergency services for abused women and their dependent children in the Region of Halton. Today, we have 2 shelters providing 52 beds on a daily basis in addition to a 24/7 Crisis, Information and Support Line, an Online Chat, Community Outreach Programs, Transitional Housing Support, Court Support and Public Education & Advocacy Programs.

Our mission is to provide a safe haven, information,
and education to support a future without abuse for women and their children.

Your legacy gift will ensure that we can continue to be here for the women and children who need us the most – today AND for many years to come. Your legacy gift will ensure that we can continue to advocate and support survivors of gender-based violence.

We know it is important to you to take care of your family first. We hope that you may also consider helping other families as well. We hope you can leave a legacy gift that will support women and children who will need shelter, support and resources to begin new lives free from violence and abuse.

You can leave your legacy in a variety of ways including:

Bequests: A gift in your Will

There are several ways to make contributions through your will. You can instruct your lawyer to include “Embrave Agency to End Violence” (our legal name) in your will.

These are two examples of wording. For a residual bequest:

“I give to Embrave Agency to End Violence currently of P.O. Box 45070, Mississauga, Ontario, L5G 1C9 all (or _______ %) of the residue of my estate, to be used at the discretion of the organization.”

For a specific bequest (a specified dollar amount):

“I give to Embrave Agency to End Violence currently of P.O. Box 45070, Mississauga, Ontario, L5G 1C9, the sum of $ _______ to be used at the discretion of the organization.”

Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) /Registered Retirement Income Plan (RRIF) / Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSA)

Donating unused or excess assets in an RRSP, RRIF or TFSA to Halton Women’s Place can enable you to realize an immediate impact without triggering the tax, provided that the donation is carefully planned.

Please connect with your financial advisor to explore how your financial assets can unlock a legacy of care and support for survivors of gender-based violence today and in the future!
