Types of Gifts
Every donor has different reasons for giving and unique financial considerations. Our development staff would be happy to discuss your needs, goals, and values. Any gift can be directed to benefit the department, program, or project of your choice, and as administrative costs are covered by the Foundation, the full amount of your gift is applied to make a difference. With the Foundation, your privacy and right to give anonymously are always respected.

Gifts for the Future
- Including a bequest in your will is a thoughtful and powerful way to express your values through a gift of funds, property, shares, or real estate. Please talk with your legal and financial advisors about including a legacy to Camosun College in your estate plans. Any bequest to Camosun College Foundation should include the Foundation’s name, charitable registration # (11882-6502-RR0001), address (4461 Interurban Rd. Victoria, BC V9E 2C1), and phone number (250-370-4233).
- Designating Camosun College’s Foundation as beneficiary for new or existing life insurance can provide a significant future gift at a very modest cost.
- RRSPs and RRIFs can be left directly to Camosun College by naming the Foundation as beneficiary.
Talk to your financial or legal advisor about the tax benefits, thresholds and appropriateness of these choices for you, or contact us for more information.
Gifts that Give Back
- A charitable remainder trust is a deferred giving arrangement. You retain the lifetime rights to the regular income from the trust or property; the trust principal (remaining capital) becomes your gift to Camosun College.
- Gifts of residual interest allow you to donate a gift of personal property such as real estate or artwork while retaining the right to use the property during your lifetime
Talk to your financial advisor about these options, or contact us for more information.
