Leave Your Legacy
Our legacy partners create a lasting impact in our community for decades to come.
Securities Form
A gift of securities is one of the most efficient ways to give a legacy gift. Did you know that when you donate securities, capital gains tax does not apply? This allows more of your gift to go to the cause you care about. We are deeply grateful for your consideration of The Lighthouse and are committed to stewarding your gift faithfully.
About Our Endowment Fund
Through generous gifts to The Lighthouse, we are building our endowment fund into a legacy that could sustain us in perpetuity.
The Lighthouse established an Endowment Fund at the Community Foundation of Orillia and Area to build a sustainable source of annual operating income. All donations made to the Lighthouse Endowment Fund are invested wisely and the investment income is granted to the Lighthouse as operating revenue each year.
Planned Giving
Planned giving is a significant financial gift made during someone’s life or death as part of their financial, estate plan or endowment fund contribution.
A gift like this can make lasting impact for years to come.
Legacy Giving
A legacy giver is a person who leaves a charitable gift as part of their estate plans. Legacy gifts are distributed after you pass away in the form of a specific dollar amount, percentage of your assets or an item of value.
A gift like this is a powerful way to pay it forward.
Tributes
The James A. Burton Family Foundation
The James A. Burton and Family Foundation was formed in 2018. Jim’s lifelong dream to create a multi-generational legacy of philanthropy, to work with his children and be actively engaged in community was just beginning. Today, the Foundation supports initiatives to combat homelessness, support education, encourage sustainability, and more.
The Burton Family Atrium at The Lighthouse is a tribute to the gift of this family, and the youth wing is donated in loving memory of Jim’s son, Jeffrey Burton.
