Flourishing Futures

The values that shape your life can continue to shape the future.

Flourishing Futures 

When you plan, hope continues. 

If you believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience good mental health, a gift in your will is one of the most powerful ways to make that belief endure. It is a lasting expression of compassion—creating opportunities for people to find support, hope, and healing for generations to come. 

Legacy gifts have the power to transform mental health care. They help expand access to life-changing programs, strengthen communities, and build a future where no one faces mental health challenges alone.

A gift in your will costs nothing today, protects your loved ones first, and ensures the hope you’ve carried keeps flourishing for generations. 

Flourishing Futures invites Manitobans to extend their compassion beyond their lifetime — through a gift in your will, a gift of securities or life insurance, or a beneficiary designation on a registered plan.

The future you envision can begin with the legacy you leave.

How Can I make a Difference

When many Canadians think about mental health care, they think of hospitals and crisis treatment. But mental health begins long before a crisis, and that’s where CMHA Across Manitoba makes a difference.

CMHA Across Manitoba works alongside people and communities to promote mental well-being, provide early support, and strengthen the conditions that help people thrive. Through education, advocacy, and community-based programs, we help address mental health challenges before they become crises. By supporting people earlier, we can reduce the need for hospital care and ensure more people can access help close to home.

We know that mental health can be strengthened, protected, and nurtured. With the right support, many mental health challenges can be prevented or addressed before they become more serious.

Your support of CMHA Across Manitoba helps create lasting change. Together, we can strengthen communities, improve access to mental health support, and influence the policies and systems that shape mental health care across the province.

A gift in your will is an investment in a future where everyone has the opportunity to receive the mental health services they deserve.

Gift in a will

Set amount, percentage, or residue. Costs nothing today; changeable anytime; estate receives a full tax receipt.

Securities

Direct transfer estimates capital gains tax; receipt for full market value on the day of transfer.

Life insurance

Name CMHA as the beneficiary, or transfer a policy – a modest premium becomes transformational support.

RRSP/RRIF

A beneficiary form offsets the heaviest-taxed asset in an estate. Three steps; donor keeps full control for life.

Directed & endowed

Support a program or region, documented with flexibility language; endowed options for longer gifts.

When we hope, change happens.

When you plan, hope continues.
