Give the Gift of Sight in Your Will

A charitable bequest made through your will allows you to leave a larger gift to Orbis than would be possible during your lifetime – it's a simple yet powerful way of giving. In your will, you can choose to leave Orbis a specific piece of property, stock, securities, cash or a percentage of your estate. By planning now, you can leave a lasting legacy for the future.

If you already have an existing will, leaving a gift to Orbis is simple. Speak to your lawyer about revising your will or adding a codicil.

You will need to include the following information in your will:

• Project Orbis International Inc. (Orbis Canada)
• 421-192 Spadina Avenue, Toronto, ON M5T 2C2
• Charitable Registration No. 88649 0994 RR0001

By supporting Orbis you will be equipping eye care professionals with the skills to screen for and treat eye conditions, providing communities with the knowledge to seek help when they need it, and developing a health care system that recognizes the importance of eye care for all. You will share in our comprehensive and sustainable legacy of high-quality care and give the gift of sight for generations to come. 

There are also a number of benefits to you:

• You are able to provide a significant future gift while retaining control of your assets during your lifetime;
• A charitable tax receipt to your estate;
• Reduction or elimination of estate taxes through careful planning.

By letting us know you have included Orbis Canada in your will, it allows us the opportunity to thank you and ensure your gift can accomplish what you would like it to. You can email [email protected] to tell us you have included (or are thinking about including) Orbis Canada in your will.
