Leaving a legacy gift

Thank you for considering a planned gift to Jubilee Fund!

Through your generous gift to the Jubilee Fund’s Planned Giving campaign, you ensure that Jubilee Fund is able to continue providing financial stability to Manitoba’s Non-Profit community as well as marginalized individuals. There is well over 86,000 non-profits in Manitoba, many of which have a direct or indirect approach to poverty reduction. Your planned gift will help ensure Jubilee Fund is able to continue helping create:

  • Rent-geared-to-income housing units
  • Subsidized child care spots
  • Mental health supports
  • Accreditation transfer for newcomers
  • Job readiness training for marginalized youth and underemployed community members
  • and more!

“Thank you for supporting our child care program and our community. Your generous donation allows families to have a safe place to learn, grow and explore for children while their parents are at work or school. The Jubilee Fund made up from the generosity of people like you, supported our program in creating a new child care program for children ages 18 months through 6 years. Families of all backgrounds, socioeconomic status and family dynamics make up our diverse child care family. All of this was made possible through the Jubilee Fund! Thank you!” Jodi Ramgotra, Garden Grove Child Care Program“I felt like I was at rock bottom. Going through CBTI, I learned that I had to value who I was, what I wanted and what I deserved. They helped me feel that there was a long journey to get through the traumas I’ve been through but that it was actually something that could happen. I felt like I could do life, have a job, function, and have positive relationships. Without CBTI, I probably wouldn’t be here (today). Something I am teaching my daughter is that asking for help is not a weakness, it’s a strength.” Kate Niles, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Institute Client

Planned Giving Campaign Goals

By 2031, Jubilee Fund intends to have a loan fund in the amount of $10,000,000. This will allow for 50% of Jubilee Fund operations to be supported from interested generated from investments and Jubilee Investment Certificates donated through the Planned Giving Campaign.

Our Planned Giving Campaign was launched in 2022 through the generosity of CHAM, Missionary Oblates of St. Boniface, Provincial Administration Sisters, as well as four individuals who have chosen to remain anonymous. Combined, these Planned Gifts totaled over $500,000 in planned gifts.

We hope to realize the following cumulative results:

  • 2022: 10 outright Jubilee Investment Certificate donations, 1 planned gift such as a stock or insurance
  • 2023: 12 outright Jubilee Investment Certificate donations, 3 planned gifts such as stock or insurance
  • 2024: 15 outright Jubilee Investment Certificate donations, 5 planned gifts such as stock or insurance

Donate a Life Insurance policy

By naming Jubilee Fund as the beneficiary of your policy, your estate will receive tax benefits. If you designate Jubilee Fund as the owner and beneficiary of the policy, you can realize those tax benefits today.

There are several ways to make a gift of life insurance. You can:

  • Name Jubilee Fund as the beneficiary of your insurance policy. Upon passing, your estate will receive a donation receipt for the full amount that Jubilee Fund receives under the terms of your policy.
  • Establish a new policy that designates Jubilee Fund as the owner and beneficiary. You can then claim any and all premium payments as a charitable donation on your tax return.
  • Transfer ownership of an existing policy with premiums still owing. Jubilee Fund will issue a donation receipt for the cash surrender value of the policy. When you make further payments, Jubilee Fund will issue additional annual donation receipts for the value of the premiums.
  • Donate a fully paid policy you no longer need. Jubilee Fund will immediately issue a donation receipt for the policy’s cash surrender value, plus any accumulated dividends and interest. In order to issue a donation receipt, Jubilee Fund must be irrevocably designated as the policy owner and beneficiary.

The benefits of giving a gift of life insurance include:

  • There is no need to involve a lawyer and no legal fees
  • They are private
  • They can’t be contested.

After seeking appropriate professional advice and ensuring your loved ones are provided for, visit your insurance broker. You will need our legal name and charitable registration number:
