Join the Forever Smiles Club and Create Impact That Transcends a Lifetime
Legacy giving, also known as planned giving, is a gift in your will or estate plan that leaves a lasting mark and reflects your values and compassion. It’s a meaningful way to ensure charities close to your heart continue to thrive even when you’re gone. And many Canadians are asking themselves, “how do I want to be remembered?”
More than 175,000 children worldwide are born with a cleft lip or palate every year. When you include Operation Smile in your legacy giving, you have the ability to provide thousands of children with essential cleft care — the power to advance health care accessibility across the globe.
Your caring and compassionate choice to include us in your will or estate plan will help build a future where every child can grow in life with a bright new smile.
Why Choose Legacy Giving?
It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
We support children with cleft lip or palate receive the comprehensive care they need today — and with legacy giving, you have the chance to carry the impact into the future. Your generosity delivers generations of smiles.
It’s transformative.
With every free, life-saving surgery your gift provides to children born with cleft conditions, you also help build local capacity in the communities we work in. You actively transform accessibility in health care.
Its benefits go beyond the children and families you help.
Did you know Canada has the world’s most generous tax system for charitable giving? Planned giving will not only enable your generosity to continue saving lives and creating new smiles but also maximize tax savings for your loved ones. It’s a part of your financial wellness.
