creating legacies
now and in
the future
When people think of creating a legacy, most believe this can only
be done when you die. However, as we finish our 10th anniversary
year we’ve seen many donors start their family legacy during their
lifetime.
Rob Neill and his wife Pat are life long residents of Niagara. Both
are very active in their community and have very special ties
with Welland. We don’t know if becoming new grandparents to
Lily influenced their decision to create an endowment fund, but
shortly after her birth Rob and Pat made a commitment to create
the Neill Terry Family Fund during their lifetime in support of
charities providing programs in Welland.
Roman Groch, with business ties in south Niagara, is an active
volunteer with and a supporter of children and youth. He’s a
proponent of keeping kids active and healthy and wanted his
legacy to do the same. He recently took out in insurance policy
making the foundation the owner and beneficiary. He pays the
premiums on our behalf and in turn receives a donation receipt.
The Groch Family Fund will be created with the proceeds from
the policy and will support recreation programs for children and
youth in Niagara. k
