Donating to All Saints' - by Bequests and Planned Giving Bequests are a traditional and much-appreciated form of support for a church. Your specified support, as a dollar amount or as a percentage of your estate, is easy to add to your will.        "Please consider including All Saints' in your will." Planned Giving - Planning bequests can offer you advantages now. For example, an insurance bequest can be set up to give you tax deductions now for the premiums you pay.      "Planned giving" mobilizes your desire to give a gift, and takes advantage of the tax benefits such as tax deductions or tax-free income that can be offered by the appropriate legal arrangements. "Living bequests"  - Living bequests can be arranged by the gift of an insurance policy payable if you are diagnosed with a critical illness (cancer, Alzheimers, stroke...) or an insurance policy payable if you suffer the loss of  independence. This type of insurance can provide support to the parish while its ministries continue to support you. The Anglican Diocese of Ottawa provides staff who can support the planning process that facilitates insurance bequests.
