Donating Publicly Listed Securities

Donate Life Insurance

  • This gift option allows for sizeable donations without significantly affecting your cash flow:
    • Name the Greenwoods Foundation as the owner and irrevocable beneficiary of a new insurance policy and we will issue tax receipts matching your premiums.
    • Transfer ownership of an existing life insurance policy to the Greenwoods Foundation. We will issue a tax receipt equivalent to the cash surrender value of the policy and you will receive donation receipts for any premiums you pay once the Foundation is the policy owner.

Donate Through Your Will

  • To leave something to Greenwoods in your will, you should instruct your lawyer to add a clause into your will to establish the bequest.  If you are comfortable, tell us about your bequest to make sure we understand how you want your gift to be used.  If you would like to remain anonymous, we promise to respect your privacy.

Donate Gifts in Kind

  • The Greenwoods Foundation is able to accept gifts of real property, artwork, antiques, and jewelry. Such gifts must be readily convertible to cash and must not have any associated continuing obligations.

We can work with you and your financial advisor to determine the most suitable type of donation for your situation. We encourage you to seek the advice of a professional when making this important decision.

Tax receipts will be issued for all donations over $25.00
