Have you thought about how you can make a lasting impact on the protection of Ottawa’s special heritage places for future generations?

The HERITAGE OTTAWA ENDOWMENT FUND provides the opportunity for you to create a bequest with the only award-winning, charitable organization that has been championing the conservation of heritage buildings and landscapes for over 50 years.

Through advocacy and awareness-building activities, Heritage Ottawa promotes public engagement and investment in the protection and enhancement of our city’s heritage for the benefit of present and future generations.

Heritage Ottawa is a federally incorporated Registered Charity and the largest not-for-profit organization in Ottawa devoted exclusively to this cause.

The HERITAGE OTTAWA ENDOWMENT FUND allows you to leave a bequest in your will in several ways:

  • Give a gift of cash. It qualifies for maximum charitable benefit under federal law.
  • Give a gift of securities and eliminate or reduce capital gains tax
  • Give through your RRSP or RRIF by naming Heritage Ottawa as a beneficiary.
  • Donate a Life Insurance Policy by naming Heritage Ottawa as a beneficiary.

The Fund is intended to generate revenue for the long-term health of our charity. Consider giving a will bequest. It will empower our volunteer driven organization with needed resources to carry on the work we do to protect Ottawa’s irreplaceable places for 50 more years, and beyond.

Please contact Robert Westgarth at rwestgarth@ocf-fco.ca for more information. We also encourage you to let us know that you are considering a legacy gift by contacting us at office@heritageotttawa.org.
