Keep Your Legacy Close to Home
A legacy gift is one you plan now that will benefit hospital patients in the future. The three most common options are a gift in your Will, a gift of life insurance, or a gift of retirement funds (RRSPs and RRIFs). You might be surprised to learn how little it costs to leave a legacy of compassionate, expert hospital care for family, friends and neighbours throughout Grey Bruce. Check out our Bequest Infographic and discover how it could work for you.
A Gift in Your Will
A gift in your Will (bequest) enables you to support life-saving diagnosis and care for patients in the years to come without affecting your current income or standard of living. Tax savings are available for your Estate.

A Gift of Life Insurance
A gift of life insurance can be an excellent way to use a policy you may no longer need to make a gift that will make a significant difference for patients. There are tax savings for you during your lifetime – or for your Estate, depending on how your gift is arranged.

A Gift of Retirement Funds
Designating us as beneficiary, alternate or partial beneficiary of your RRSP or RRIF plan is one of the simplest and most private ways to make a legacy gift to the Owen Sound Regional Hospital Foundation. There are significant tax advantages for your Estate.Download more information on RRSP/RRIF giving.
