How to leave a gift in your will to The Salvation Army

Leaving a bequest to The Salvation Army is the simplest way to create a legacy of everlasting hope.

Writing or changing your will is not an overwhelming task. Everyone should have a will and update it on a regular basis. To ensure that you have a valid will, we strongly recommend that you use the services of a legal professional.

To include a bequest to The Salvation Army you will need to legal name and address:

The Governing Council of The Salvation Army in Canada
2 Overlea Boulevard, Toronto, Ontario M4H 1P4

Charitable Registration No. 107951618 RR0001

Sample Bequest Clauses:

To leave a specified percentage of the residue of your estate:
“I give to The Governing Council of The Salvation Army in Canada, 2 Overlea Boulevard, Toronto, Ontario M4H 1P4, all (or _____%) of the residue of my estate.”

To leave a specific dollar amount:
“I give to The Governing Council of The Salvation Army in Canada, 2 Overlea Boulevard, Toronto, Ontario M4H 1P4, the sum of $_________ .”

If you wish to designate your gift to benefit a specific location, social service, or church ministry then you should add:
“It is my preference that this gift be used for _______________”
