The Pat Culhane Legacy Circle

In recognition of her longstanding passion for the community and animals in need, Humane Society Hastings Prince Edward is honoured to name its legacy program The Pat Culhane Legacy Circle.

Making a gift to The Pat Culhane Legacy Circle is easy. Here’s how:

1Ask for Advice

Make sure the decision to give is right for you and discuss your wishes with your family. Ask your financial advisor whether to give a specific amount, a percentage, or the residue of your estate as well as which gift(s) will provide the most tax benefits for your estate: cash, bonds, stocks, mutual funds, a life insurance policy, RRSP, RRIF or personal property.

2Talk to Your Lawyer

Instruct your lawyer to add a clause in your Will or add a codicil to your existing Will that establishes your bequest gift to QHS.

3Share Your Plans With Us

If you are comfortable, tell us about your bequest. We would like to thank you, welcome you to The Pat Culhane Legacy Circle (unless anonymity is preferred) and make sure we understand how to fulfill your philanthropic wishes.
