Ways to Give

A planned gift is a charitable donation that can be arranged during your lifetime, but will be used by Toronto Metropolitan University in the future. Planned gifts often enable donors to make significant gifts while also fulfilling important tax and financial goals. The most common type of planned gift is a bequest, but there are others, including: charitable remainder trusts, gifts of residual interest, life insurance, and gifts of RRIFs and RRSPs.

Many companies set up charitable giving programs to match employee donations because they want to support the causes that are important to their employees. It’s a great way to get more bang for your philanthropic buck. Double or even triple the impact of your gift to Toronto Metropolitan University with the help of your employer. Some companies will even match gifts contributed by spouses or retired employees. Does your company offer matching gifts?

We encourage you to inquire at your place of work to see if your employer will match your charitable giving.
