A Simple Gesture That Changes Lives
Leucan is proud to join the national Will Power campaign alongside 40 Quebec charities and 280 Canadian charities to promote legacy gifts.
This campaign emphasizes that everyone can leave a legacy. Through this approach, we aim to break one of the biggest myths—that you need to be wealthy or have a large estate to makes a bequest to charity.
The Potential of 1%
We are witnessing a remarkable shift in philanthropy. Yes, annual giving is decreasing, but a new trend is emerging. Canadians of modest means are making five-figure legacy gifts simply by designating a small percentage of their estate to a charity.

Director of Will Power
Your will has the power to change the daily lives of children with cancer—while still caring for your loved ones.
By choosing to add a gift to Leucan in your will , you ensure the longevity of its mission. This gesture allows Leucan to continue, as it has for more than 46 years, providing essential support to children with cancer and their families throughout Québec and at every stage of the illness. You are also ensuring precious resources for future generations. Your impact today, their future tomorrow.
I chose to make a bequest to Leucan because, together, we can bring hope into the lives of these young and older heroes. So that each of them can have a beautiful and long life,—quite simply.

Why consider a bequest to Leucan?
An accessible gesture
Your estate (home, RRSPs, insurance, savings) is often worth more than you think. A 1% bequest can represent several thousand dollars for Leucan—without impacting your current budget. Our donors are always amazed when we explain the impact of their donations and how much more we can do for LEUCAN with every additional dollar.
Be surprised by the potential of your assets given through your will.
When we show them what even a small percentage in their will could look like for LEUCAN, they run the numbers—and their eyes light up. Remember that the value of your estate is the sum of the property and business you own, your pension or registered funds, your financial assets such as stocks or mutual funds, cash savings, and life insurance. Even after subtracting debts, the total is substantial.
Tax benefits. Significant advantages.
Taxes may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to charitable giving. Yet the government offers some of the most generous tax incentives in the world for charitable donations! In Canada, when you donate, you receive a charitable tax credit that can greatly reduce the amount of tax owed.
Your loved ones may need this charitable tax credit upon your passing, as your estate may face a substantial tax bill that they will have to settle. You can even structure your gift in different ways to benefit from the best possible tax reduction.For any specific questions on tax benefits and financial details, feel free to book an appointment with a financial advisor who specializes in charitable giving.
