Checklist for Making a Bequest

Be sure to use our full legal name: Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation.
Be clear when stating the amount or percentage of your bequest.
Consider a gift for general research purposes. If you wish to designate your gift to a particular area of research, such as cancer or cardiovascular research, state your wishes clearly. Be careful not to limit your gift to a very narrow area.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions where your gift would be most useful.
Consult our sample bequest language guidelines, but do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about the correct language.
Consult a lawyer to ensure your wishes are legally binding!
