And very grateful to The Anglican Foundation of Canada for bursary assistance! Grace is planning a charitable gift annuity for The Anglican Foundation to support this important aspect of the Foundation’s ministry. She will contribute $30,000 which will provide her with a life income of $2,481.60 ($206.80 monthly, and annual yield of 8.272%) entirely income tax free. In addition, Grace will receive a donation recipt for $9,000.00. The Anglican Foundation will invest her gift to provide additional bursary assistance for theological education. Since 1995 The Anglican Foundation of Canada has awarded over $850,000 in bursaries to theological students in training for ministry. The average bursary is $1,500 and we’d like to provide much more generous assistance and support to more students. Please follow Grace’s thoughtful example and make a gift to The Anglican Foundation of Canada to support tomorrow’s leaders in the Church.
