Non-Cash Gifts

Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation is dedicated to changing lives by funding specialized equipment and technology, inclusive recreation programs, clinical services and pediatric rehabilitation research which help children and youth living with physical and cognitive disabilities to reach their full potential. Your generosity ensures they have the opportunity to thrive and live their fullest  life.

You are able to support the Foundation through non-cash giving. The non-cash gifts outlined below are creative and meaningful means to make a difference while offering significant benefits to you as a donor.

Gifts of Securities

Donating publicly traded securities—such as stocks, mutual funds, or bonds—offers tax advantages.

• How it works: When you donate securities directly to CRF, you avoid paying capital gains tax on their appreciated value, and you receive a tax receipt for the full market value of the gift.
• Why it matters: This method is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give, enabling you to maximize your donation’s impact.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

Simplify your giving with a donor-advised fund.

• How it works: DAFs are charitable accounts offered through foundations or financial institutions. You contribute assets to your DAF and recommend grants to CRF over time.
• Why it matters: This flexible option allows you to support CRF’s mission of providing specialized equipment and programs while enjoying immediate tax benefits.

Leave a Gift in Your Will

Including CRF in your will is a simple and meaningful way to leave a lasting legacy.

• How it works: You can include a bequest of a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after other gifts are distributed.
• Why it matters: A gift in your will helps children and youth with disabilities access life-changing adapted equipment, inclusive recreation programs, and clinical services for years to come.

Gifts of Life Insurance

Transform a modest premium into a meaningful legacy.

• How it works: You can name Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation  as a beneficiary or transfer ownership of a life insurance policy. Premium payments made after the transfer are also eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
• Why it matters: Life insurance gifts ensure future support for the Foundation’s  programs and services, helping to transform the lives of children with disabilities.

Other Non-Cash Gifts

• Gifts of real estate: Donate property to avoid capital gains tax while making a meaningful contribution.
• Gifts of private company shares: Transfer ownership of shares, potentially reducing your tax liability while supporting CRF’s life-changing work.
