Other Ways to Support the Collingwood Music Festival

There are several strategic ways to support the Festival beyond a direct donation. These options can offer tax advantages and long-term impact.

A. Legacy Giving (Bequests)

A legacy gift in your will allows you to support the Festival while preserving your assets during your lifetime.

• Gift a fixed amount, asset, or percentage of your estate
• Significant tax advantages for your estate
• Simple to include when drafting or updating your will

To include the Collingwood Music Festival in your will, your advisor will require:

• Legal name: Collingwood Music Festival
• Charitable registration number: 749171088RR0001

If you are considering a legacy gift, we would be pleased to speak with you confidentially. 

B. Gifts of Securities

Donating publicly traded securities is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give.

• No capital gains tax on donated securities
• Full tax receipt for fair market value
• Greater net impact than cash donation

Request our securities transfer form or speak with your advisor to get started.

C. Planned Giving Alternatives

• Name CMF as beneficiary of:
  • RRSP / RRIF
  • TFSA
  • Life insurance

These options can be arranged directly through your financial institution.
