Community Living Mississauga Foundation offers a Planned Giving Program which is designed to help those who want to contribute something meaningful and lasting to our agency. As life unfolds, some people are able to make their gift of a lifetime – a legacy of hope for the future. Planning such an ultimate gift can be one of the most satisfying and exhilarating experiences of your life.

Your gift can be accomplished in a number of creative ways – each one of them a flame of hope for the future.

Gifts for the Present

  • Appreciated Property: A tax-effective way to give. Capital gains tax is reduced by 50%.

Gifts for the Future

  • Charitable Bequest: An easy way to make a gift. Simply leave the Community Living Mississauga Foundation in your will. The gift can be a specific amount, percentage or residual.
  • Life Insurance: By designating the Community Living Mississauga Foundation as the owner and beneficiary of a paid-up, current or new policy, you will be able to make a significant future gift without diminishing your estate.
  • Endowment Gifts: Your donation of at last $25,000 can leave a lasting legacy. To learn more about setting up an endowment please contact the Resource Development Department

Gifts that Give Something Back

  • Charitable Gift Annuity: Provides both a gift to help support individuals who have intellectual disabilities and guaranteed, regular, equal payments for the rest of your life that can be 100% tax-free.
  • Charitable Remainder Trust: You irrevocably transfer ownership of a substantial asset to a trustee, but you retain the right to income from the trust. In the end, the principle in the trust becomes your gift to Community Living Mississauga.
  • When considering a planned gift to the Community Living Mississauga Foundation, please consult your legal counsel and/or financial advisor to ensure the most appropriate form of gift for your financial situation.

Organize an Event in Your Community

Hosting your own fundraising or awareness event can be a unique and meaningful way to make a difference and benefit others. If you are looking for a great way to support Community Living Mississauga, why not organize a third party event. This is an event organized by you, however big or small, where the proceeds are donated to Community Living Mississauga.
Fundraising is an important part of Community Living Mississauga’s activities that help sustain unfunded programs for individuals who have an intellectual disability and their families.

Here are some examples of successful third party events:

  • Bowling Tournaments
  • Dinner/Dances
  • Wine/Cheese Parties
  • Golf Tournaments
  • Endurance Challenges
A Night for Autism donation

Sponsorship Opportunities

Fundraising through the Community Living Mississauga Foundation helps us to sustain unfunded programs for people who have an intellectual disability, and their families.

During the summer months, it can be difficult for families to find things for their kids to do. That challenge is even more so for families with children and teens who have an intellectual disability. That’s where Community Living Mississauga’s Summer Programs come in… and where ALL funds raised go.

We provide support so that children and teens can enjoy inclusive, community programs that allow them to grow and develop and have fun! These summer programs give caregivers a much needed break and offer them peace-of-mind knowing that their child is enjoying the summer, just like their non-disabled peers.

Learn about our two biggest fundraiser events – our annual Tribute Dinner and Golf Classic.
