Plan today for your future donation to the Ontario Genealogical Society.  With a planned gift, your commitment is made in the present, but the gift is realized in the future. Planned gifts include:

  • Bequests in a Will – By making a bequest in your will to The Ontario Genealogical Society you can show your commitment to securing Ontario’s genealogical heritage.  Speak with your lawyer about including OGS in your will.
  • Life Insurance – When you give a gift of life insurance to the OGS your regular monthly or yearly payment can provide the means to make a meaningful contribution without diminishing the value of your estate.

Assets placed in the trust may include: cash, stocks, bonds, securities, real estate and other investments.  Always speak with a professional adviser before undertaking a gift of this nature.
  • Gifts-In-Kind – Tangible property (for example: real estate, artwork, securities) can be donated to The Ontario Genealogical Society, both during your lifetime and by your will. Be sure to discuss the tax consequences of a gift of this kind with your professional adviser.
