Gifts in Wills

Adding a gift in Will

Leaving a gift in your Will can make a world of difference to future generations of people affected by breast cancer. 

A gift in Will is a donation of any size that is left in your Will. It is a wonderful way to ensure that your generosity continues to make a significant difference beyond your lifetime. 

How your bequest will make a difference 

For BCNA, the gifts we’ve received have helped us sustain the support we provide to people affected by breast cancer and continue our advocacy for positive changes in the health system that provide better access to treatment and care.

How to add a gift in your Will 

We understand that making a decision about how your estate is distributed is a very personal one. Once you’ve taken care of your family and friends, you may like to leave a gift to BCNA . Leaving just 1% of your estate to charity means your loved ones will still receive 99%. If you would like to ensure that all or part of your estate is bequeathed to BCNA, it’s a good idea to seek professional legal advice. This will ensure your wishes are met.  

Your gift can take a variety of forms: 

• pecuniary – a specific gift of cash 
• percentage – a percentage of either the residue or the entire estate 
• residuary – the remainder of an estate after specific gifts have been disbursed 
• specific asset – real estate, shares, bonds or other particular items of value
