Aqueduct focuses on bequests and other estate donations. We work closely with donors and their advisors to ensure their gifts are well planned and will meet their charitable wishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Aqueduct focuses on bequests and other estate donations. A donor may establish a legacy fund now, which is designed to be funded with a future estate donation. Donor advised funds can also be support with a combination of lifetime and estate donations.

The minimum estate donation required to establish a legacy fund is $250,000.

In addition to Canadian registered charities and qualified donees, Aqueduct funds can also support special charitable programs. For example, Aqueduct works with donors to establish and run community-based scholarships, art foundations, and to hold environmentally sensitive land. Aqueduct is expanding its mission to make grants to organizations that are not Canadian registered charities, such as Canadian non-profits carrying out charitable purposes or international charities.
