Including ASC in your planned giving is a very meaningful way to ensure future support for people with ASDs and their families. You have an opportunity to provide an important gift for charity. Besides estate money, you may also leave stocks, bonds, and other types of property to ASC. Your estate planning should be done in consultation with a lawyer and tax advisor who can help you prepare a document that is legally sound and provides the maximum tax benefits.

If you have included ASC in your estate planning, please send us an original, signed letter detailing your provisions for ASC and provide us with your lawyer's contact information (name, address and telephone number).

If you would like to donate stock to ASC, please send us an original, signed letter detailing the name and type of securities, number of shares, and provide us with your broker's contact information (name, company, address and telephone number).

It is also possible to join together with a group of family and friends to create an endowment fund to honour or memorialize a loved one.

For more information on planned giving through endowments, wills, stocks, charitable annuities and life insurance, or if you have designated, or wish to designate ASC as a recipient in your planned giving document, please contact:
