Catholic Mission In Canada

You can donate retirement savings (Registered Retirement Savings Plans and Registered Retirement Income Funds) and pension funds to Catholic Missions In Canada when you retire.

While contributions to these funds are free from taxation at the time you make the contributions, at death the total value of the funds must be reported as income and are fully taxable to your estate, causing significant tax payable.

Once your needs and those of your loved ones have been met, you can choose to make a difference and leave a legacy that benefits our missions by giving the proceeds from these savings to a charity such as Catholic Missions In Canada.

Proceeds of RRSPs and RRIFs paid directly to a charity upon death are eligible for a charitable tax receipt to offset taxes owed on final tax return.

No matter your circumstances--whether you are enrolled in an RRSP or have already converted your RRSP to an RRIF--you can name Catholic Missions In Canada a beneficiary of all or a portion of any retirement funds remaining at your death. A tax receipt for the value of the investment gifted will be issued to your estate and applied towards your final income tax return.

You may endow gifts of this type while you are still living. By donating a portion or all of these funds, or funds received from Canada Pension Plan, your tax bill can be greatly decreased.

Moreover, you have use of the retirement saving investment while you are alive. RRSPs/RRIFs gifts are revocable and can be changed if your financial circumstances change.

In addition, you will receive a tax receipt for the full value of your gift.

Remember: Your pension gift can be put to use immediately, thus giving you the benefit of seeing how your generosity makes a difference to our poor missions.
