the 2% Club

What is the 2% Club?

To join our 2% Club, we ask that you leave 2% (or more, if you like) of your estate to DDCF.

Your estate will receive a tax receipt equal to the amount of your charitable bequest, generating a tax credit.

Undesignated Bequests give the added gift of flexibility, allowing us to use your gift to address the ever-changing needs of our community.

Designated Bequests direct that your gift be used for a specific purpose of your choice.

Residual Bequests designate all or a portion of whatever remains after all debts, taxes, expenses and other bequests have been paid. This can be designated or undesignated.

Share your plans with us! We want to be able to thank you in person and work with you to ensure we honour your values as we help to create your legacy.

CREATING A BEQUEST FUND

You can create a Charitable Fund today and use your estate to fund when the time comes. It's a way of ensuring the causes you care about are supported beyond your lifetime.

TYPES OF FUNDS:

• Named Funds provide the most flexibility. Not tied to any specific area of interest, it allows the Foundation to address the most pressing needs of the community.
• Field of Interest Funds support a specific area of interest, such as arts & culture, sports, children, animal welfare or whatever area is important to you.
• Designated Funds support a specific charitable organization.
• Scholarship Funds are established in the name of the donor or in honour of someone else, to help students enter post-secondary education.
