Did you know that by making a planned gift, you can support the vital services and programs offered by the Greater Victoria Public Library? The public library is for everyone, and your gift will benefi t readers and lifelong learners today and tomorrow.
How Do I Leave a Gift to the Greater Victoria Public Library?
It’s easy. You can arrange for a planned gift in several ways, the most common being a charitable gift through a bequest in a will. Many people set aside a dollar amount or leave a paid up life insurance policy, securities, retirement income or other fi nancial investments. Consult the appropriate professional advisors to ensure the type and timing of your gift maximizes the advantages to you and to the Greater Victoria Public Library.
You can also call or write us if you need to know more about how planned giving benefi ts present and future generations.
