Leaving a legacy gift is a deeply personal decision. It reflects your values and your desire to care for the people and community that matter most to you.

With thoughtful planning, your Will can first ensure the well-being of your loved ones, while also setting aside a gift to support causes close to your heart. Legacy gifts come in many forms, and each one, regardless of size, can help ease the tax burden on your estate while ensuring St. Joseph’s Health Centre Guelph can continue to provide compassionate care to our community for generations to come.

If you choose to share your intentions with us, we would be honoured to learn about your vision and the impact you hope to make.

We have included resources below to help you get started, and whenever you are ready, we are here to listen and support you in whatever way feels right.

St. Joseph’s Legacy Society

Our Legacy Society recognizes those who have kindly chosen to inform us of their plans to make a future gift. We are deeply grateful to these donors for sharing their intentions with us and are honoured to celebrate their foresight, generosity and enduring commitment. While we are proud to recognize Legacy Society members, we are mindful of individual preferences regarding anonymity. Some donors prefer to remain anonymous during their lifetimes but are comfortable with recognition once their future gift is realized. Sharing your plans with us is an ideal way to ensure we can honor and celebrate your generosity in a way that aligns with your values.
