BequestsThe needs of homeless youth are becoming greater and more complex. Leaving a legacy gift to Covenant House in your will can be an easy and powerful way to provide assistance now and in the future to our kids while offering financial benefits to you and your family. This is a meaningful way to make a lasting gift to the kids at Covenant House. You only need to name Covenant House Toronto as beneficiary in your will and indicate the amount. You can leave a percentage of your estate, the residue or a specific cash donation, a paid-up life insurance policy, securities or property. Your lawyer will contact us for any legal information that is required. A bequest offers flexibility.
