Legacy and Planned Giving

A legacy or planned gift can assist our programs for Nova Scotian children, youth, and adults with disabilities now and in the future. These gifts can help fund important programs designed to break down barriers and make a difference for those living with a disability. A legacy/planned gift is made after deliberate consideration through a financial or estate plan and requires some type of legal document. There are tax advantages under current law. Please consider making a lasting legacy by helping to ensure an accessible future for Nova Scotians with disabilities.
