Bequest & Wills
Leaving a gift in your Will is a powerful way to leave a legacy of care and compassion while making a difference that lives on for years to come.
The most common planned gift, a charitable bequest, is a donation made through your Will.
You can choose to leave Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation a specific piece of property, a pre-determined sum of money, or a percentage of your estate.
For suggested bequest language, please contact Rhonda Cunningham at 905-377-7767 or rcunningham@nhh.ca
By carefully planning your bequest, you can eliminate significant taxes payable upon your death.

Have you left a gift to the hospital in your Will? If so, have you let us know?
You may wish to remain anonymous, but we also appreciate the opportunity to thank and recognize your loyalty. We do this respectfully with our Legacy Society where we will honour your generosity and community spirit by including your name on our Legacy Society donor wall. Of course, if you’d prefer not to be recognized, that’s okay too.
By becoming a Legacy Society member, the Foundation is able to acknowledge your generosity now – during your lifetime, if you so choose. By showing your support, you might encourage others to do the same. You don’t have to disclose any details, and should circumstances change over time, we understand.
By including Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation as a recipient of a gift in your Will, you are helping shape an even brighter, healthier future for generations to come.
