Monthly Giving
Monthly giving allows you to continue your support easily and make a difference year-round. Here are a few of the many benefits of giving monthly:
-
Convenience: you only need to sign up once and can spread your donations out over the year, receiving one consolidated tax receipt in January;
-
Flexibility: you are able to change or cancel your payments at any time;
-
Stable Funding: Your monthly gifts also provide us with stable funding, allowing us to plan projects and campaigns with the comfort of knowing that we have a reliable flow of donations. Even donations of $10 - $20 a month add up and help make a significant impact.

Legacy Fund
Over the past 20 years, the Universal Outreach Community has collectively made significant positive changes in this world. We are creating this legacy fund to ensure these changes continue in the years and generations to come.
UOF diligently strives to make every dollar count and the development of the legacy fund will go a long way in maintaining the high standard of accountability, transparency and effectiveness that UOF has become known for.
How Planned Giving Works
Caring donors donate to the UOF legacy fund and a tax receipt is issued. The funds are invested by a professional financial manager under the scrutiny of the Universal Investment Policy supported by a UOF donor investment committee.
The principle raised will remain in the fund and all or a portion of the interest will be directed to UOF projects. UOF will utilize the fund income based on a set budget for that year and any excess interest will be invested back in the fund.
The UOF Planned Giving Legacy Fund will focus on a sustainable rate of return while also being aware of the importance of environmental, social and the governance structures of the investments being made, creating a balanced investment fund that promotes a better world for all.
Ways to give to the Legacy Fund

Wills and Codicils
At Universal Outreach we realize the sensitivity of discussing Wills and Codicils. Our goal is to provide you with the tools you need to make an informed decision that provides you with options to consider and is a simple task to perform.
The charitable bequest in your Will can provide a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a gift of the residue, which consists of whatever remains in your Estate after gifts to your loved ones and all expenses have been paid.
Charitable giving through your Estate can result in significant tax savings while ensuring the financial security of your family and provide a generous gift for your community, but most importantly, it’s a statement of the legacy you want to leave behind for generations to come.
Below is a sample codicil and some options for phrases that can be written directly into your Will. We have also included some pertinent information regarding Universal Outreach Foundation to include in your decision.
The Codicil
To avoid the expense of having a new Will drawn up, minor alterations can be made to an existing Will by means of a codicil. A codicil is an amending document that changes or deletes an existing provision or adds an entirely new one. Codicils are signed and witnessed in the same way Codicils are kept with the Will. Attached is an example of a codicil.
Sample wording for a residual gift in your Will:
“I give to Universal Outreach Foundation currently of #601, 2108 Argyle Ave, West Vancouver, BC, Canada, V7V 1A4, charitable registration #762721918 RR0001 all (or ______%) of the residue of my estate, to be used at the discretion of the organization.”
