Planned giving involves making a charitable gift as part of a financial, tax, or estate plan in order to maximize its impact. It allows you to increase your support for the CHUM Foundation and its hospital in a way that takes your personal and family circumstances into account.

A planned gift can be arranged at any time, in a way that suits you best and is most advantageous for you.

“By choosing to donate shares to the CHUM Foundation, I was able to give generously while not having to pay taxes on the capital gain. That way, I can make the biggest difference for the health of future generations.” 

Louis Daubois, CHUM Foundation donor 

“You don’t need to be a billionaire to support a cause. With the help of our advisor, we chose to donate shares held by our management company to make a meaningful gift to the CHUM.”

Yves and Jean-Luc Lapierre, CHUM Foundation donors

An exclusive donor recognition circle

Choosing to donate life insurance or create a permanent endowment fund entitles you to join the Visionary Circle, and receive recognition for your generosity. Anonymity is always an option as well.

Choosing planned giving means:

  • Giving strategically and making your gift go further for greater philanthropic impact
  • Easing the tax burden on you or your estate
  • Having a meaningful and lasting impact on the CHUM and its Foundation
  • Embodying your values and leaving a legacy for future generations

The CHUM Foundation recommends talking to your legal and financial advisors to maximize the benefits of your donation.
