From world wars to natural disasters and from pandemics to personal emergencies like house fires. We’ve been there, steadfast and unwavering. But we haven’t done it alone. It’s because of compassionate individuals like you that help has come.
Whatever crises the future may bring, you can ensure that help will be on the way. By leaving a portion or a small percentage—1%, 2% or 5%—of what’s leftover in your estate to the Canadian Red Cross, you’ll join a community of compassionate individuals who refuse to stand idle in the face of adversity.
Imagine a world where no one faces disaster alone. Where communities struck by floods or wildfires receive immediate, life-saving assistance. Where families torn apart by conflict are reunited. Where the most vulnerable among us find support and care.
This is the world you can help create with a gift in your Will to the Canadian Red Cross.
A Gift in Your Will is a Promise

Your gift isn’t just about responding to emergencies. It’s about building resilience, fighting injustice, and creating lasting change. It’s about filling the gaps in our systems that let people fall through the cracks.

Your legacy can be one of kindness, action, and hope. Join us in shaping a more compassionate future and help create a better world for everyone. When you make, or update, your Will, consider including a gift to the Canadian Red Cross and you can do just this.
