Planned gifts are a powerful way for you to ensure the IEEE Canadian Foundation has the future resources it needs to support the next generation of engineers.

Planned gifts typically come from a donor's assets rather than income. These gifts can either be outright or deferred. They enable you to integrate your charitable objectives with your overall financial, tax, and estate plans to maximize benefits to both you and the IEEE Canadian Foundation. These types of gifts are part of your estate planning and should be made in consultation with your lawyer, financial advisor, or insurance advisor.

Typical types of planned gifts include:

• Life Insurance - Name the IEEE Canadian Foundation as your beneficiary or donate an existing policy that you no longer need
• Will or Trust Provision - Make a charitable bequest to the IEEE Canadian Foundation in your will or living trust.
• Retirement Plan - Avoid "double taxation" by naming the IEEE Canadian Foundation as beneficiary of your retirement plan.
