Create a Legacy Gift for BC's Seniors

When you choose to support Seniors First BC with a legacy gift, like a gift in your Will, you are making a commitment to justice, compassion, and respect for tomorrow’s seniors.

This is your opportunity to create lasting change, offering security and peace of mind to those who have spent their lives contributing to our communities.

Why Your Legacy Matters

Your legacy will continue to provide vital support to seniors who need it most—those facing isolation, financial hardship, or legal challenges. Your generosity will help ensure that seniors are treated with the respect and care they deserve, even when they are most vulnerable.

When you include Seniors First BC in your Will, you can feel good knowing that your legacy is one of compassion, protection, and empowerment. You are not just giving a gift; you are making a lasting difference in the lives of older adults, helping them live with dignity and security. This is a powerful way to reflect your values and have a positive impact on the world with your legacy.

 

How to Make a Legacy Gift in your Will

You have two main options for making a legacy gift in your Will to Seniors First BC:

Residual Gift
After all debts and specific gifts are paid, you can leave a percentage of your estate’s remainder in your will:

"I give to Seniors First BC – 1281 W Georgia St #502, Vancouver, BC V6E 3J7, ___ percent of the residue of my Estate for its charitable purposes."

Specific Gift
You can also make a specific gift of cash or other assets (such as securities or property):

"I give to Seniors First BC – 1281 W Georgia St #502, Vancouver, BC V6E 3J7, the sum of $___ (or a description of the property or asset) for its charitable purposes."

Other Ways to Create a Legacy Gift

Gifts of life insurance, RRSPs, RRIFs, TSFAs and securities, can all help support Seniors First BC. We’d be happy to talk with you if you’d like to know more about how you can provide a legacy gift with any of these options.

Your Support Can Change Lives

When you support Seniors First BC, you are standing up for some of the most vulnerable members of our society. Every legacy gift—whether large or small—makes a difference, and translates into hope, security, and dignity for older adults. Your legacy will ensure that seniors continue to have access to the resources, support, and protection they need, and we honour each and every gift.
