Shoreham Village Foundation

Shoreham Village Foundation is raising money for a palliative care facility at Shoreham Village to ensure every person receives the dignity and care they deserve at the end of life. Thanks to the charitable efforts of the Shoreham Village Foundation and all it's many wonderful supporters we are close to reaching our target goal of $300,000. It is not too late to participate in this worthwhile project. We invite you to donate via a regular donation, a charitable bequest, a donation of securities, or planned giving. Over the coming months we will be getting the appropriate approvals and finalizing designs.

Please see below for possible designs.

Since we are so close to reaching our target goal for the palliative care unit we invite you to donate to one of our other worthwhile funds such as:
- General (which pays for direct resident needs, pastoral care, and makes our valuable volunteer pool possible)
- Staff education or
- Operation of the palliative care unit.


The Shoreham Village foundation is the fundraising arm of the Shoreham Village Senior Citizens Home.   Our goal is to raise money to aid the nursing home.  We have many goals some of which include a palliative care suite and education.

The many ways to give including memorial donations, regular donations and planned giving:

MEMORIAL AND REGULAR DONATIONS

With each memorial and regular donation you will receive an income tax receipt.  Donations can be made by mail or in person at the address above. 

PLANNED GIVING

By planning to give a gift now, you can arrange to support the work of the Shoreham Village Foundation in the future.  These gifts will reflect your desire to help maintain the work of the Foundation while maximizing your potential income tax savings.

Planned giving provides the donor with many benefits, both financial, through tax incentives, and emotional and spiritual, through making a gift that can make a significant difference.

Planned gifts include a bequest in a will, the gift of a life insurance policy and gifts in kind of real estate, securities or other capital properties.

A CHARITABLE BEQUEST

It is very simple to designate a beneficiary under a will and a bequest to a registered charity, such as the Shoreham Village Foundation, can be used to reduce income taxes owed by an estate.  A charitable bequest provides a tax credit that your executor may use in your final two annual tax returns for up to 100% of your annual net income.  With careful planning it may be possible to eliminate all, or a significant portion, of  taxes payable on death.

A GIFT OF LIFE INSURANCE        

Through a gift of life insurance, you can leave a considerable gift which may not have been possible during your lifetime.  A relatively small premium can produce a substantial gift, and each premium payment will result in a tax credit for you.

A GIFT OF SECURITIES

Consider a gift of securities in lieu of a gift of cash.  Significant income tax savings can result as the capital gains inclusion rate for gifts of securities to registered charities are reduced to 25%.  Securities can be donated during your lifetime to generate immediate income tax savings, or they can be donated as a bequest in a will, resulting in income tax savings for your estate.
