**TEST** Your legacy starts now.
A gift that you designate in your lifetime brings the joy of knowing you’re helping children, adults, and families living with cystic fibrosis. Your generosity ensures better outcomes and brighter futures for generations of Canadians.
Your gift. Their future.
What you leave behind builds what’s ahead
A legacy gift is a donation arranged through your estate plans – most often in your will. It allows you to make a lasting impact beyond your lifetime.
Because progress can’t stop here
Because of the generosity of donors like you, people with cystic fibrosis are living longer and healthier lives than ever before. But we’re not finished yet. Imagine how much further we can go. With better treatments, stronger care, and ultimately, a cure. When your legacy fuels the next breakthrough.
Ways to shape your legacy
Across the country, friends of the cystic fibrosis community are leaving gifts of hope that will change the future for people living with CF. Not only will these giving methods transform lives, but many of them can reduce taxes for you or your estate.
