Your will is a way to protect the people and things you love. But it’s also a special opportunity to think about everything you’ve accomplished so far and what kind of mark you’d like to leave on your community. By leaving a bequest to the CHUM Foundation in your will, you’re making a real difference and providing the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM) with support that will live on.
Leave a legacy of health
The CHUM is more than just a hospital—it’s a place of hope, a centre of knowledge and a driver of innovation. By making a gift in your will for the CHUM Foundation, you’re shaping the future by helping to make each diagnosis a fairer fight, each treatment a potential victory, each life a priority.
“It’s thanks to the CHUM that I’m still here with my son and granddaughters. That’s why I’ve chosen to leave some of my estate to the Foundation. It’s my way of giving back to the next generation.”
— Claire Tardif, CHUM Foundation donor
“The population is aging, and I wanted my gift to help our health system endure so that people in need can continue to receive the exceptional essential care they deserve.”
— Pierre Limoges, CHUM Foundation donor
“I chose to include a donation to the Foundation in my will, so that I could leave something to oncology research for future generations. This way, I can support projects that will help other cancer patients like me beat the odds.”
— Lynda Piché, CHUM Foundation donor
“The CHUM, whose exceptionally skilled and compassionate teams were there for us every step of the way, has left a lasting mark on our lives, just like Quebec did when it welcomed us over 50 years ago. Now, we want to give back for the health of the people of Quebec, who gave us so much.”
— Dominique et Guy Morali, CHUM Foundation donors

Have you decided to include a gift to the CHUM Foundation in your will? We would be honoured to know!
A letter of intent, sharing key information about your legacy gift, helps us plan and administer your donation so we can carry out your wishes more effectively. This statement is entirely optional and confidential, and you can modify or revoke it at any time.
An exclusive donor recognition circle
A legacy gift to the CHUM Foundation is more than a financial transaction or a tax benefit. It is the ultimate show of support, a commitment that reflects your values.
Pledging a legacy gift entitles you to join the Visionary Circle and receive immediate recognition for your generosity to one of the largest hospitals in Quebec. Anonymity is always an option.
Other types of planned giving
A charitable bequest is just one way to support the CHUM Foundation through planned giving. There are also other, lesser-known options, such as donating a life insurance policy.
