Remember us in your will!

Leave a Lasting Legacy

At Carty House, we believe everyone deserves a place to feel safe, supported, and at home. By including Carty House in your will, you can help ensure that women in need continue to find refuge, community, and a path forward—long into the future.

A legacy gift is a powerful way to make a lasting impact. It costs nothing today, yet creates meaningful change for generations to come.

Why Leave a Gift in Your Will?

Your gift will help:

• Provide safe, affordable housing for refugee women facing hardship
• Support programs that foster independence, dignity, and well-being
• Sustain a compassionate community where every woman is valued

No matter the size, your legacy gift becomes part of a future where more women have the opportunity to rebuild their lives with stability and hope.

A Gift That Reflects Your Values

Including Carty House in your will is a deeply personal decision—one that reflects your commitment to kindness, equity, and community.

Even a small percentage of your estate can make a profound difference.

Ways to Give

You can support Carty House through:

• A gift of a specific amount
• A percentage of your estate
• The remainder of your estate after other gifts are distributed

We recommend speaking with your legal or financial advisor to find the option that’s right for you.

What drew you to think of adding Carty House to your will, Paul?

As a retired civil servant, I have spent my career as a policy advisor in the areas of finance and trade, both here in Canada and at the international level. I was attracted to Carty House’s mission of specifically assisting female refugees. In my work and travels, I saw how vulnerable women are, especially those arriving alone in a new country. Places like Carty House can help these women integrate into Canada and realize their full potential.

Why was it important to name Carty House in your will at this time?
I believe that regularly updating your will is important. I want to support Carty House in the present, but I also believe legacy planning is important. Updating a will need not be complicated. It’s important to make sure whatever you leave goes to those you want to help. I encourage others to consider their own legacy giving too.

Thanks, Paul, for leaving a lasting legacy with Carty House!
