Planning Your Gift
Wills and Bequests: Making plans for a future gift in your Will to the Calgary Stampede Foundation is a wonderful way to ensure our program youth will benefit from result-driven, collaborative, and inspiring environments and programs to pursue their passions – today and for future generations.
Life Insurance Policies: An effective way to make a substantial impact to keep our programs strong well into the future. Donating a life insurance policy isn’t subject to taxes, probate costs or estate debts. At the same time, you’ll be rewarded for your donation through the charitable tax receipts you receive.
Endowments: An endowment fund is a gift that keeps giving. Your principal gift is invested and the income earned on that investment is provided to the program and/or facilities that you have chosen to support. They are a unique and lasting way to leave a legacy or memorialize a loved one.
Shares and Securities: Donating publicly traded shares, bonds or mutual funds is becoming increasingly popular because of significant tax saving incentives. A gift of securities to the Calgary Stampede Foundation can completely eliminate the steep capital gains tax you would incur if you were to sell these assets and donate the proceeds. You receive a tax receipt for the fair market value of the securities at the time we receive them. The combination of tax-exempt capital gains and the charitable tax credit for the donation may allow you to provide a significant gift at a relatively low cost. Gifts of flow-through shares are another tax smart option and provide additional tax benefits.
