Development - RRSPs / RIFFs

Many potential donors aren't aware that they can make a gift to Athol Murray College of Notre Dame of their RRSPs or RRIFs through their Will. This can be a tax effective way of making a significant donation.

To donate RRSPs and RRIFs, you name in your Will your estate as beneficiary of your RRSP or RRIF funds and instruct the estate to provide for a charitable bequest to the College equal to the value of the funds. By doing this you have made an excellent gift that will not incur a tax disadvantage on your final tax return because the charitable donation receipt will entirely offset the taxes on the funds.

The benefits to you in contributing a portion or all of your RRSPs or RRIFs to the College are that you have the satisfaction of knowing that you are providing a future gift to the College while still looking after your personal financial security.
