Life insurance policies
"As Henry David Thoreau said, "The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling." I would like to thank the Georgian Bay Land Trust for providing me the opportunity to experience the tangible work that is being done to preserve such an important landscape. It is comforting to know that these islands will remain tied to the wilderness for generations to come. I was able to begin a new series of work based on the Canadian shield and hope to return in the future to continue."
Life insurance policies
Giving through life insurance is a creative way to give to the GBLT at a relatively low cost. You can give a new policy, an existing policy or simply name the GBLT as the beneficiary. For instance, you may own a life insurance policy that has now outlived its purpose if your children are grown and you have accumulated enough assets. By simply naming the GBLT as the owner and beneficiary of your policy, you will receive an immediate tax receipt for the residual value of the policy.
