LEGACY GIVING

 Your Legacy Can Help Farmed Animals 

Planned gifts leave behind a lasting legacy of kindness and a future where farmed animals are treated with love and care. Your small steps now invest in a more compassionate world. 

You can support animals in need by leaving a gift in your will or naming Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy, RRSP, RRIF, or securities. By doing so, you’ll help Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary (HEEFS) create a brighter future for farmed animals. 

No matter which option you choose, your generosity will make a lasting impact. 

How to Honour HEEFS in your WILL 

To include Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary in your will, you'll need the following information:

You have several options for leaving a gift in your will 

  • Specific Bequest: You can designate a specific dollar amount.

Your advisor will help finalize the wording, but here's a good starting point: 

“I, [name], of [city, province, Canada], give, devise, and bequeath to Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, a registered charity in the province of Ontario, with charitable registration number 807598578RR0001, and with the permanent address of 8074 1st Line, Campbellville, Ontario L0P 1B0, the sum of $_________________ [or describe the real or personal property, or percentage of your estate] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”

  • RRSP/RRIF: You can designate HEEFS as a beneficiary of your qualified retirement plan. 

  • Securities: By donating stocks, mutual funds, or other marketable securities to HEEFS you avoid paying taxes on capital gains. Plus, you'll receive a tax receipt for the full value of your donation. Download the form here.
