Leave Your Legacy of Humanist Values

At Humanist Canada, we believe that a meaningful legacy reflects the values you’ve lived by—reason, compassion, equality, and the pursuit of knowledge. One way to carry those values forward is by including a charitable gift in your Will.

Whether you’ve supported Humanist Canada through advocacy, education, or community-building, a legacy gift is an opportunity to extend your impact into the future.

What Is a Legacy Gift?

A legacy gift—also known as a charitable bequest—is a donation you arrange through your Will. It can be a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or what’s left over after other gifts have been made. These gifts often allow people to make a more substantial contribution than they could during their lifetime, without affecting their current financial security.

How Do I Leave a Legacy Gift?

You can leave a gift to Humanist Canada in your Will in one of two ways:

Option 1

Speak with your lawyer or notary

When preparing or updating your Wiil, simply ask you lawyer or notary to include a clause naming Humanist Canada as a beneficiary.

Option 2

Use an online Will platform, like Epilogue

If you don’t have a Will or legal advisor, we’ve partnered with Epilogue, a Canadian online Will provider, to offer an easy, secure, and affordable way to write your Will from home. Receive 20% off—and have the option to include Humanist Canada in your estate plan.

Why Leave a Gift to Humanist Canada?

Legacy gifts sustain our long-term work for a more secular, compassionate, and rational society. They help fund educational programs, advocacy, and public engagement well into the future.

By making a legacy gift, you’re helping ensure that the principles you value most continue to make a difference for generations to come.

Join the Humanist Legacy Society

If you’ve already included Humanist Canada in your Will, or plan to, we’d love to welcome you into the Humanist Legacy Society—a circle of supporters who have chosen to leave a future gift.

Sharing your intention allows us to recognize your commitment and keep you connected to the impact of your values-driven legacy. Please let us know: legacy@humanistcanada.ca

With gratitude, from the Humanist of today AND tomorrow.
