By supporting us, you are part of an important mission that provides innovative, accessible and affordable programs and services for people struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating. Your donation represents hope and inspiration as, together, we walk with individuals on their road to recovery.
Please make your cheque payable to: Looking Glass Foundation for Eating Disorders
2006 West 10th Avenue, Suite 200 Vancouver, BC, V6J 2B3
Donate Securities: Stocks & Shares
Donating publicly traded securities, bonds and mutual funds allows you to amplify the impact of your gift. The benefits of making a gift of securities include:
A charitable tax receipt that will be issued for the fair market value of the securities;
No capital gains tax is owing if gifted to a public charity; and
You will have the fulfillment of seeing your donation help people on their recovery journey.
Incorporating Looking Glass Foundation into your legacy plan is a lasting statement of your generosity and kindness—you believe recovery is possible, and you want to ensure individuals impacted by eating disorders are empowered to achieve their full potential.
Types of bequests you can make:
Specific bequest: a gift of a fixed amount of cash or a particular asset
Percentage share: a gift of a percentage of the whole estate
Contingent bequest: a gift that will take effect only in the event of the prior death of other named beneficiaries
Your legacy gift is tax-deductible, reducing the taxes payable on your estate’s final tax return. We are happy to work with you, your family, and your advisors on a confidential basis to ensure all your objectives are met based on your personal priorities.
For Employees: Many companies match gifts made by their employees to local charities. If you’d like to double—or even triple—the impact of your gift, ask your company if they have a matching gift program and if they’d consider supporting Looking Glass Foundation.
For Employers: Employee giving is a great way for companies to foster a healthy work culture. You are empowering your employees to give back to their communities and then showing support by doubling their impact.
Honour a friend, mentor, community or family member. Your loved one (or their family) will receive a personalized note of the donation made in their honour, and you will receive a note of appreciation and a tax receipt.
