Let’s be clear – the NFU is unique. As a farmer-led organization, there is nothing like it in Canada. But these are challenging times for organizations like ours, continuing to tackle the tough issues on a tight budget, with volunteer farmer leadership from across the country. The NFU needs your financial support if you are able to contribute.

Learn about Leaving A Legacy

Legacy donations can reduce your tax burden while ensuring your funds go directly to the important, farmer-led work you want to see continue.

40% of adult Canadians do not have a will and farmers’ finances are uniquely challenging. Planning may be possible to ensure the next generation’s success on (or off) your farm while supporting the ongoing work of the one farm organization that will protect their broader interests. It’s time to make a plan of action and be prepared.

The NFU and National Farmers Foundation will be hosting an online workshop on Thursday Feb. 20, 2025 at 3pm EST about legacy donations. The workshop with Mike Skrypnek, will cover:

  • That estate taxes can be minimized and even eliminated
  • You can prevent yourself from being taxed “twice“
  • How to defer capital gains when selling investments, even with today’s proposed budget changes
  • How to generate income for life with assets you own
  • How you can take control of your legacy, and our government supports it.

Register here. We look forward to learning with you.
