Will Donations (Bequests)

Leaving a gift in your will, also known as a bequest, is one of the most meaningful ways to support us. It's a lasting expression of your care, compassion, and commitment that helps ensure your values continue to make a difference for future generations.

A bequest helps support residents, enhances person-directed living, and strengthens the Foundation's ability to meet emerging needs for years to come. Your estate will also receive a charitable tax receipt, which may help reduce estate taxes and capital gains.

Sample Will Wording

The following sample wording may be helpful when preparing or updating your will. Please consult your lawyer or estate planning professional to ensure your wishes are properly reflected.

Residual Bequest

A residual bequest leaves all or a percentage of the remainder of your estate after other gifts and expenses have been distributed.

"I give and devise to Fondation Actionmarguerite Foundation Inc. (Charitable Registration Number 890150592RR0001), located at 185 Despins Street, Winnipeg, MB R2H 2B3, all (or ___%) of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, to be used for its general support (or for the support of a specific priority or program)."

Specific Gift

A specific gift leaves a fixed dollar amount of particular asset to the Foundation.

For a specific gift amount, you can include this language in your will:

“I give and devise to Fondation Actionmarguerite Foundation Inc. (Charitable Registration Number 890150592RR0001), located at 185 Despins Street, Winnipeg, MB R2H 2B3, the sum of $__________ (or a specific asset) to be used for its general support (or for the support of a specific priority or program).”

Start the Conversation

We'd be pleased to discuss your charitable giving goals and help you explore the many ways a legacy gift can support Actionmarguerite Foundation. We encourage you to speak with your lawyer or financial advisor to ensure your wishes are reflected in your estate plans.

In-Memory Gifts

Honour someone special with a gift that creates a lasting impact.

A commemorative gift is a meaningful way to celebrate the life, legacy, or achievements of a friend, family member, or loved one. Whether you choose to make a memorial donation or establish a named trust fund in tribute to someone special, your generosity helps enhance the lives of the people we support at Actionmarguerite.

When you make a gift in memory or in honour of someone, Actionmarguerite will send a personalized acknowledgement card to the individual or family you designate. The amount of your donation will remain confidential unless you request otherwise.

To Send Your Tribute Card

Please provide:

  • The recipient's name
  • Their mailing address
  • A personalized message you'd like included

Your commemorative gift is a thoughtful way to celebrate someone special while making a meaningful difference in our community.

Donating Equipment or Items

We are grateful for the generosity of community members and families who wish to donate wheelchairs, mobility equipment, furniture,  and other useful items. To ensure every donation is safe, appropriate, and truly beneficial, we follow a simple review and approval process.

How the Donation Process Works

1. Tell Us About Your Item
Before donating, please email marguerite@actionmarguerite.ca with information about the item you wish to donate. Including photos and a brief description of its condition is very helpful.
 

2. We'll Review the Need
Our team will consult with the appropriate department to determine whether the item meets a current need. This helps ensure donations directly support resident comfort, independence, and person-directed living. 
 

3. Safety & Condition Assessment
If the item is needed, we'll confirm that it meets our safety, accessibility, and quality standards. Items must be clean, in good working condition, and suitable for resident use. When required, we'll also arrange an assessment of the item's fair market value for charitable receipting.

4. Schedule a Drop-Off
Once your donation has been approved, we'll arrange a convenient drop-off time with you. Please note that we cannot accept items without prior approval.

5. Receive Your Tax Receipt
After the item has been received and its value confirmed, we'll issue a charitable tax receipt to acknowledge your generous contribution.

If you have equipment or supplies you'd like to donate, we'd be happy to discuss whether they can support the residents and programs at Actionmarguerite.
