Legacy Giving at Zajac Ranch

A legacy gift is one of the most meaningful ways to ensure children with serious and chronic illnesses continue experiencing the magic of Zajac Ranch for generations to come. Your commitment today helps sustain our medical summer camps, strengthens year-round programming, and supports the long-term future of the Ranch.

By including Zajac Ranch Society in your estate planning, you can:

  • Make a lasting impact on the lives of children and young adults
  • Inspire others through your generosity
  • Potentially reduce taxes for your estate

Legacy giving is a natural extension of the care and compassion you already show. It allows you to support the values you cherish—community, inclusion, belonging—well into the future.

Ways to Leave a Legacy

Below are a few of the most common types of planned gifts. A full guide with sample wording is available in the downloadable PDF here.

  • Wills & Bequests
    A simple and flexible way to leave a future gift by including Zajac Ranch Society in your will. You may leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or a particular asset.
  • RRSPs & RRIFs
    Name Zajac Ranch Society as a beneficiary of your retirement funds. These gifts can help reduce taxes and are not subject to probate fees.
  • Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRT)
    Make a gift today, receive income for life, and ensure the remainder supports Zajac Ranch in the future.
  • Gifts of Property & Securities
    Real estate, artwork, private company shares, or publicly traded securities can all be donated—often providing significant tax advantages.

Before You Begin

Legacy giving is personal and should align with your intentions and financial plans. We encourage donors to speak with a legal or financial advisor to choose the option that’s right for them.
