2017LEADERSHIP GIVING PROGRAM

Leaders are individuals who take action because they believe change is possible.

Our Leaders are a generous and committed group of individuals who choose to support our community by giving gifts of $1,200 or more. They know our community is strongest when everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

What is a Leader?

A Planned Gift is a personal matter – a thoughtful commitment to the future. Planned gifts are often made from assets accumulated with care over many years.

United Way of Saskatoon and Area is able to help you achieve your charitable objectives.

You may be surprised at how simple it is to make a substantial gift with flexible giving options such as:

A bequest in your will.

A gift of life insurance.

A gift of cash, securities, or property.

A gift in the form of residual interest.

A commemorative gift.

Planned Giving

Options

Many United Way of Saskatoon and Area Leaders make personal donations or make use of the payroll deduction option through their employers, but there are other ways to be a United Way Leader.

DONATIONS OF LISTED SECURITIES

Take advantage of greater tax saving opportunities while creating positive change in our community.

By donating publicly traded shares to United Way, you will not pay any capital gains tax normally associated with such a disposition. You will receive a tax receipt for the full value of the shares but are not taxed on any gain. (Donors of securities therefore do not need to take any capital gain into income.)

THE TOMORROW FUND

By making a gift to The Tomorrow Fund, a donor can ensure a gift will continue in perpetuity. The gift is invested wisely, professionally managed, and indexed to inflation ensuring the real value of the capital is maintained. The annual income generated in excess of the amount capitalized for inflation is used by United Way to support innovative and effective community programs.

Ways to Give

Donations to charity are deducted directly from your taxes in the form of a credit applied against taxes payable.

This charitable tax credit reduces the amount of federal and provincial tax you may pay.

Charitable Tax Credits in

Saskatchewan

Regardless of personal income, donations of equal size are credited equally.

The system rewards extra giving; the more you donate, the larger your tax credit.

WHILE YOUR DONATION IS HELPING OTHERS, LET THE TAX SAVINGS HELP YOU…
