It starts here

“We wanted our life choices and investments to have a positive impact on our community.

At our most recent planning meeting, Rock suggested several philanthropic channels that we had never thought of. He was able to make everything very clear and accessible. We were able to have fruitful family discussions and make the choices that felt right to us!”

Corporate social responsibility is becoming an increasingly important way for businesses to stand out.

Those at the cutting-edge of this movement are noticed for acting directly on employee loyalty and retention, and for the trust and engagement of their clients. They enjoy a competitive advantage in the market.

Tips

Tip #1

Have you thought of creating your own foundation?

Each year, you make personal donations, or via your company, without really knowing how your money is used.

Creating your own charitable fund may be an effective solution for you. Commonly called a philanthropic fund, it is a simple solution. You don’t have to be rich to create one!

This will allow you to better direct your donations, take advantage of interesting tax benefits and have an even more concrete impact.

Tip #2

Would you like to make a major donation after your death?

Using life insurance is an efficient way to do so. You can simply purchase a life insurance policy, and name the foundation or the charitable organization of your choice as its owner and beneficiary.

You will pay the premiums during your lifetime, and benefit from the tax credits. At the time of your death, the foundation or charity will receive the benefits of your gesture, while limiting the tax impacts for your loved ones.

Tip #3

Think about calculating your income taxes owed at death now

You’d like to transfer your wealth as completely as possible to your beneficiaries. Several strategies can be used to do this; some of them are more advantageous if they are created as soon as possible.

Don’t wait until you are retired to do this, especially if your assets include several real estate properties.

Tip #4

Get a tax and estate plan at no charge

Typically, a financial plan from an accountancy firm can take between 60 and 100 hours and may cost you more than $15,000!

With PPTA, you could benefit from such a report at no charge. Several financial institutions offer this service for free, in the hopes that you will purchase their financial products.

The idea is to have the professionals at a financial institution create an analysis for you and then work with your PPTA advisor to assess the resulting recommendations.
