Health care is a priority now and will continue to be for future generations. Legacy Gifts are becoming an increasingly popular way to leave a lasting impact. Bequests made through your will and special gifts by other methods such as life insurance or charitable trusts will help patients for years to come. We will work with you and your advisor/lawyer to find the donation that best suits your giving interests.

The Legacy Giving information on this website is provided for general information purposes only. It is not intended as a substitute for professional advice and assistance from your lawyer, financial advisor, or tax consultant. We recommend that you discuss your plans with your family, friend, lawyer and/or financial advisor before proceeding with a legacy gift.

The Norfolk General Hospital Foundation has a practice of designating bequest gifts to the greatest area of need with 10% of the gift invested in the legacy endowment fund. Bequest gifts/legacy gifts help us to ensure that we will have the financial resources to support programs now and well into the future.

We suggest the following will clause to be used as follows:

“I give to the Norfolk General Hospital Foundation, Simcoe, Ontario ____% percent of the residue (or a specific amount) of my estate to be used if practical and possible as determined by the Board of Directors of the Norfolk General Hospital Foundation from time to time. If you would like to know how to include Norfolk General Hospital Foundation in your will planning or want to let us know you have already remembered Norfolk General Hospital Foundation in your will, please contact Helen DeBoer-Daggett, Director of Development at 519-426-0130 x 1454.
