The Douglas Foundation is pleased to introduce the Douglas Legacy Society, a distinguished group of donors who have pledged a legacy gift through a will or life insurance policy.
The establishment of the Douglas Legacy Society lets us extend deep appreciation to those including the Douglas Foundation in their estate plans. Society members enjoy many perks, including invitations to our annual recognition event and other special occasions, a unique Building Hope pin, and the choice of being named in our Annual Report.
We are happy it to announce our inaugural members: Gilles P. Gauthier, Dr. Michel Messier, Gilles Allard, and an anonymous donor. They have made the generous decision to include the Douglas Foundation in their legacy plans. We’re eager to welcome you to the Douglas Legacy Society too.
If you have already arranged a future gift, let us know. If not, we invite you to consider a bequest or other future gift provision. Your legacy gift can have a lasting impact, and builds hope for those affected by mental illness. This year we’ve renewed our partnership with Will Power—a campaign inspiring Canadians to give to charity through their wills.
Discover the impact your estate plans can have on the Douglas here. Your support now and in the future ensures the Douglas Foundation can continue building hope for everyone affected by mental illness. To join the Douglas Legacy Society or to learn more, please reach out to Julie Brown, our Senior Advisor for Planned Giving at [email protected].
Together, we make a difference.
Mr. Fortier, who currently serves as Chief Legal Officer and Secretary at WSP Global, will bring his expertise in governance, strategic management, and legal affairs to the Foundation’s mission.
Thanks to a generous donation from the Charles, Evelyne, and Sandra Dolansky Foundation, the Centre is taking its research to the next level with an exciting multi-year initiative led by five Principal Investigators.
