What impact do you want your legacy to have?
If you share our vision for a brighter future and a more just world, where children's rights are respected, and Sikhs are taken care of, please consider including SAF International in your legacy plans.
I know that with each child brought into the SAF program, together we are not just changing one life, but transforming the lives of future generations. By including a gift to SAF International in your will, your legacy will ensure that their children will never know the poverty their parents endured. In just a few generations, it will become a distant memory. I can't imagine a better legacy.

Join the Many Who Have Made a Difference
If you decide to include a gift to SAF International in your will, you are in good company. More than 2 million Canadians have planned bequests to charities, ensuring their spirit of giving lives and transforming countless lives for generations to come. The word ‘philanthropy’ means ‘love of humankind,’ and those who plan these bequests are making some of the noblest gifts imaginable.
BENEFITS OF A CHARITABLE BEQUEST
Leaving a gift in your will can provide tax benefits that will be passed on to your heirs. When you donate to SAF International through your will, the gift can be claimed against 100% of net income on the final two-lifetime tax returns. In some instances, making a charitable donation can offset taxes, ensuring that gifts to family and friends are worth more.
ADDING SAF TO AN EXISTING WILL
If you already have a will, it is easy to include SAF by adding a codicil. A codicil is an additional legal document that lets you amend your will without needing to re-write it. Please ask your lawyer for more information on using a codicil to include SAF in your estate planning.
