When you give to Cool Aid, you provide housing, healthcare, and the support people need to recover and rebuild with dignity.

Legacy Donations & Gifts of Securities
Leaving a gift to Cool Aid in your will, naming Cool Aid as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy, TFSA, trust, or estate, or transferring publicly listed securities as a charitable gift are meaningful ways to support marginalized people in our community. We recommend consulting a financial or legal advisor to determine the best way to structure your legacy and securities gifts.
