Provide for loved ones – and for the future

When planning your estate, family and loved ones naturally come first. A legacy gift doesn’t replace that—it complements it. By dedicating even a small portion of your estate to Cystic Fibrosis Canada, you can help accelerate research, improve care, and move us closer to a cure.

Many legacy giving methods also offer valuable tax advantages for you and your estate, making it possible to create a gift that is both generous and practical.

Your legacy, your way

Your legacy can take many forms, but every gift shares the same purpose: creating a brighter future for people with cystic fibrosis. From wills to investments, these options let you give in the way that works best for you and your estate.

Bequests

A bequest is a gift in your will. It can be a fixed sum, a percentage, or remaining funds after you have provided for your loved ones. It’s simple, flexible, and deeply impactful.

Discover the benefits

Publicly listed securities

Donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds through your estate is one of the most tax-effective ways to give. It can be completed in just a few steps using our transfer form.

Life insurance

By naming Cystic Fibrosis Canada as the beneficiary of a new or existing policy, you can make a larger gift than might otherwise be possible – often with modest premium payments.
