Legacy Gifts

Leave a lasting mark on the future of Canadian cinema by including VIFF in your will. A legacy gift is a simple and meaningful way to support the next generation of filmmakers while maintaining full control of your assets during your lifetime.

You may choose to leave a gift of cash, securities, property, or a percentage of your estate. Your estate will receive a charitable tax receipt that can help reduce — or even eliminate — estate taxes.
