Can I leave a bequest to RDS Canada in my will?
Making a bequest or a planned gift means leaving a charitable gift in advance through your estate to leave a lasting legacy. By making a planned gift to RDS Canada, you can leave a legacy while directly supporting those who are affected by rare and young onset dementias.
A bequest is the most common planned gift, however there are many planned giving options that can help you maximize your impact and tax benefits, while balancing your personal and financial needs.

Can I support RDS Canada through Student Scholarships, Awards or Bursaries?

Donors can decide on the name of the student award and the eligibility criteria in collaboration with Nipissing Advancement.
