The Vancouver
Heritage Foundation appreciates its Friends and
supporters. Without your contributions our education,
public awareness and granting activities would not
happen.
To help preserve heritage buildings in Vancouver
you can:
1. BECOME
A FRIEND of the Vancouver Heritage Foundation
2. BECOME A PILLAR
of the Foundation by making a contribution to
the Vancouver Heritage Conservation Fund at the
Vancouver Foundation. All endowment fund gifts receive
a full charitable tax receipt.
Your charitable gift to the Vancouver Heritage Foundation
Endowment Fund is securely and professionally invested
and managed by the Vancouver Foundation, the largest
community foundation in North America. Fundraising
events and annual Friends donations alone cannot
secure Vancouver's heritage streetscapes and neighbourhoods
for future generations to enjoy. An endowment fund
gift continues to give beyond your lifetime. Returns
on your investment will help to maintain and restore
heritage buildings in this century and beyond.
Call our Development Director, Gillian Holter at 604

3. Leave a Gift in Your Will
Charitable bequests in your will are an important
element in your estate plan. They enable you to
create a lasting partnership with the Vancouver
Heritage Foundation that will help to ensure the
protection of heritage buildings into the future.
There are many ways to give to the Vancouver Heritage
Foundation in your will. We encourage you to talk
with your personal financial advisor such as your
accountant or your lawyer about leaving a gift in
your will to the Vancouver Heritage Foundation.
Together with the Vancouver Heritage Foundation
you can realize your philanthropic goals and establish
a lasting testament to your name that meets your
specific needs, vision and objectives.
Ways you can give in your will include:
- A cash gift or a residual (percentage) portion
of your estate after family and loved ones are
taken care of.
- Leave a heritage property to the Vancouver
Heritage Foundation knowing that the organization
is committed to ensuring its preservation.
- Name the Vancouver Heritage Foundation as
the beneficiary of an insurance policy.
- Leave the Foundation a stock portfolio.
4. A Gift of a Life Income Plan
Give a Gift that benefits both you and the Vancouver
Heritage Foundation by setting up:
- Charitable Gift Annuity which will provide
you and/or your designees with an annual income
stream while creating a permanent legacy after
your death.
- Charitable Remainder Trust which will create
a legacy in your name and you will receive income
from the trust for life or for a specified term
of years. For example you can gift your house
or some other asset to the Vancouver Heritage
Foundation but live in the house or use the
asset until the end of your life at which time
it reverts to the Foundation. You receive the
tax benefit in the year in which you make the
Gift.
- Charitable Lead Trust is both an income and
a wealth transfer vehicle, enabling you to pass
income-producing assets to the next generation
at a significantly lower tax cost, while achieving
your philanthropic objectives.
