Legacy & Planned Gifts
Make a Transformative Gift
Making a charitable gift doesn’t always mean writing a cheque – you can include Wesley in your personal legacy by leaving a gift in your will, making a planned gift, or giving a gift of securities. You can choose to give to a specific area of our work, such as children’s programs, homelessness outreach and prevention, or newcomers or another program of your choice or simply allow us to use your gift to respond to the community need that’s most urgent. By making a planned or legacy gift, you can make a transformative impact in the lives of vulnerable individuals, children and families in our community.

Mary’s planning her transformative gift. Will you join her?
Mary is a long-time volunteer and Wesley supporter, and she wants to make that part of her legacy. She was a teacher for 32 years and knows how impactful Wesley’s work is to economically disadvantaged children living within inner city neighbourhoods of Hamilton. Mary’s working out a plan that not only takes care of her and her family’s needs, but also supports Wesley’s work with children in a significant way. We’re honoured to have this partnership with Mary and to be a part of her legacy.
