Endowments

How it works:

  • You make a gift of cash, stocks, bonds or mutual funds to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
  • You receive a tax receipt for the full amount of your gift.
  • Your donation is added to the endowment fund, which holds an accumulation of donations from other endowment fund donors.
  • The endowment fund is invested under the direction of the Canadian Diabetes Association’s investment policy.
  • Each year, a specific percentage of the income earned on the fund is used to support diabetes research. The balance of the income earned is reinvested.
  • The original amount of your gift is never spent – only the income earned is used.
  • Your gift is a lasting legacy that will generate income for the Association in perpetuity.
