Information for Financial and Legal Advisors

Financial and legal advisors play a critical role in the estate planning for their clients, many of whom have a deep interest in supporting charitable causes such as cancer research and enhanced care.

There are many ways to make a gift that will benefit cancer research and enhanced care in British Columbia. The type of gift for your client will depend on his or her personal circumstances.

The BC Cancer Foundation has prepared a diagram that summarizes the types of gifts that can be considered depending on your clients' needs.

The BC Cancer Foundation has also prepared information pages for each type of planned giving vehicle that you can share with your clients to make it easier to explain the many options available. Please see the complete professional advisor kit.
