Legacy Giving
Leave a Legacy of Hope
A legacy gift is one of the most meaningful ways to support Street Haven and ensure women continue to receive compassionate care, shelter, housing, and life-changing support for generations to come.
By including Street Haven in your estate plans, you create a lasting impact that extends far beyond your lifetime. Your generosity will help women experiencing homelessness, poverty, housing insecurity, mental health challenges, and addictions build safer, healthier, and more independent futures.
Your legacy reflects the values you hold today while creating hope for tomorrow.
Why Leave a Legacy Gift?
A legacy gift helps ensure that future generations of women have access to:
- Safe emergency shelter
- Supportive housing
- Mental health counselling
- Addiction recovery services
- Employment and life-skills programs
- Community outreach and housing supports
- Opportunities to rebuild their lives with dignity
Every legacy gift strengthens Street Haven’s ability to serve women for years to come.
Gift in your Will / Charity Bequests
A bequest is the most common form of legacy gift and one of the simplest ways to create a lasting impact is by remembering Street Haven in your Will.
A charitable bequest allows you to provide for your loved ones while also supporting a cause that reflects your values.
You can include Street Haven in your will in several ways:
- Specific bequest — a fixed dollar amount or specific asset
- Residual bequest — all or a percentage of what remains after other bequests are fulfilled
- Contingent bequest — a gift that takes effect only if other conditions are not met
Every gift, regardless of size, helps create brighter futures for women in our community.
To include Street Haven in your will, provide your lawyer or notary with the following information:
- Legal name: Street Haven at the Crossroads
- Address: #1001-2 Carlton Street, Toronto, ON M5B 1J3
- Charitable registration number: #12953-5175-RR0001
To make a gift of securities, contact your broker and ask them to initiate a transfer to Street Haven. Please also notify fundraising@streethaven.com so we can acknowledge your gift and issue your receipt.
