Do you believe…

That all women should be safe from violence?
That every girl can have a voice?
That every family needs a safe and welcoming home?

Then make your values your legacy and join the Monarch Society at YWCA Toronto.

Since 1873, YWCA Toronto has been there for women and girls as they flee violence, seek safe and affordable homes, train for a career and build their self esteem. YWCA Toronto is the city’s only multi-service organization by, for and about women.

The Monarch Society recognizes the commitment of those who have arranged to support YWCA Toronto through their financial and estate plans, including:

• stocks or securities
  Donate your stocks or securities and decrease your annual taxable income. Call 416.961.8101 ext. 327 to find out how. [more ]
• bequests of cash or property
  A charitable bequest could be gift of a specific amount or a percentage of your estate which is given after the estate debts and family needs are cared for. Your estate will receive a tax recept for the full amount of your bequest and your executor can use the recept to obtain tax credits to offset 100% of your income from the current and previous tax year. [more ]
• registered retirement savings plans 
  Saving for your retirement is an essential part of a complete financial plan. In terms of your estate, there are no differences between RRSPs and RRIFs and making a charitable gift of either will provide tax benefits to your estate. [more ]
