Planned Giving

You can help Tetra design and build custom assistive devices and help people with disabilities by making a planned gift. You will enjoy significant tax benefits while making an important contribution to the independence and quality of life of people with disabilities in your community. Your gift will become part of your overall financial or estate plan. Some planned gifts are deferred, which means that you commit now to a gift that Tetra will receive in the future. Other gifts provide us with funds immediately. There are many giving options to suit your needs:

Bequests/Gifts by will

Leave a donation to Tetra in your will.

Charitable gift annuities

Provide a significant gift to Tetra while providing personal income in your lifetime.

Charitable remainder trusts and residual interest gifts

Provide a significant gift to Tetra through a trust – receive the income from the trust and immediate tax relief. Retain the enjoyment of your home or valuable artwork for your lifetime and receive a tax receipt today.

Endowment gifts

Leave a legacy – create an endowment gift for Tetra that honours yourself or a loved one.

Gifts of life insurance

An affordable way to make a larger gift to Tetra.

Gifts of publicly traded securities

Make a gift to Tetra and reduce your capital gains taxes by donating stocks, bonds or mutual funds.

We recommend that you consult with your own tax or legal advisors prior to making a planned gift or updating your will.
