5. Legacy Giving (Will):

Include Sewa Canada International in Your Will.

It is difficult for most Canadians to donate a sizeable amount to Sewa Canada in their lifetimes. But there is a way and it is called Legacy Giving or Planned Giving through the Will. Your personal legacy will be in helping social development, education, health and disaster relief projects run by Sewa in Canada, India and other countries.

Another form of Legacy Giving involves buying life insurance policies where the beneficiary is Sewa Canada for all or part of the insurance policy value. The advantage of this type of giving is that you can reduce your income taxes as you may be able to write off all or part of your insurance premium. With a permanent insurance plan with guaranteed premiums and death benefit from the highest rated insurers in Canada, you can leave any amount to Sewa Canada.

With affordable premiums payable for 20 years only, you could choose a plan that suits your budget and with Sewa Canada as a beneficiary, get tax advantages that will effectively lower your cost of premiums.

If you are interested in leaving a legacy for Sewa Canada, please contact us at info@sewacanada.com or ask your financial planner or insurance agent.

Please Seek Expert Advice

Sewa Canada International strongly recommends that you seek professional advice to ensure your financial goals are considered, your tax situation reviewed, and that your planned gift is tailored to your own circumstances. Sewa recommends that you consult your estate planner or lawyer regarding the specific wording of any gifts of stocks and securities or other types of planned gifts.

9. Corporate Gift Matching or Employee Giving:

If your employer participates in a matching gift program, your company will match donations that you make to Canadian charitable organizations like Sewa Canada International. Some companies even match gifts made by retirees or spouses. Does doubling, tripling or even quadrupling the impact of your donation to Sewa Canada, at no additional cost, sound appealing to you? Sewa Canada’s corporate matching gifts program is a great way to do just that!

Many Canadian companies have employee giving or workplace giving campaigns running around calendar year end.
