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.
A strategic way to give
“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 et Jean-Luc Lapierre, donateurs de la Fondation du CHUM
“The main reason I speak so openly about my gift of a life insurance policy to the CHUM Foundation is to encourage others to ask me questions. I hope to help demystify this type of planned gift and inspire others to follow suit. Because if enough of us take action, we can truly make a significant impact.”
– Bassam Touchan, CHUM Foundation donor and member of the Board of Directors

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.
