A holder of a Registered Account can designate a charity as a beneficiary of the entire amount of the TFSA/RRSP/RRIF, or alternatively they can include a charity as one of many beneficiaries, specifying the amount or portion of the Registered Account payable to the charity on their passing. Designating a charity as a beneficiary of Registered Accounts can provide a number of tax benefits to the donor’s estate.

It's a great way to always be involved with, and remembered for, your community investment.
For example, the CDHS 100th Anniversary Reunion Fund was created in 2023 by the 1970 Grade 12 Graduating Class, as part of the 100th anniversary of Campbellford District High School.
