“If you’re going to live, leave behind a legacy. Make an impact on the world that can never be erased.”
When we reflect on our lives, many of us want to find ways to be remembered.
Legacy gifts can be made in many forms, such as cash, real estate, securities, life insurance, or retirement plan funds.
Leaving a legacy gift is a powerful way to make a meaningful contribution to a charity while easing the future tax burden on your estate.
A legacy gift can provide affordable housing opportunities for future generations in Halton, Mississauga, and Dufferin. In the next decade, we aim to help at least 130 more families achieve safe, affordable housing. Your decision today will make this possible.
A gift in your will is an investment in future communities, enabling Habitat HMD to meet housing needs for generations to come.
Additionally, donating through your will can reduce estate taxes significantly. Estates can be taxed up to 25%, but a charitable donation can lower or even eliminate these taxes, ensuring more is left for your loved ones.
If you’ve included a gift to Habitat HMD in your will, please let us know. This allows us to express our gratitude and discuss how you would like to direct your donation.

You can use life insurance to make a future gift to Habitat HMD. A new or existing policy allows anyone to make a significant contribution with a small annual or monthly payment. Plus, you will receive an immediate tax credit for added benefit.
Donating retirement funds to Habitat HMD can make a tremendous difference. Your estate will receive a charitable tax receipt to offset taxes due from the distribution of RRSPs, RRIFs, or TFSAs, which are among your most heavily taxed assets.
When you make an outright gift of cash or property to Habitat HMD, 100% of your donation goes directly directly supports our mission of creating more affordable housing opportunities in Halton, Mississauga and Dufferin.
A bequest to Habitat HMD is a lasting gift that supports our local mission. It also provides practical benefits for your heirs, including a tax receipt for the full donation amount that may offset capital gains or other taxes.
Finding land to build on is one of Habitat HMD’s biggest challenges. A gift of real estate allows you to make a more significant charitable impact than you might have imagined. It also helps you avoid estate taxes and reduces or eliminates the burden on your heirs.
When you donate securities to Habitat HMD, you receive a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of your gift. This donation typically generates a tax credit worth about 45% of the gift’s value, making it a financially wise decision and helping working families achieve strength, stability and independence.
