BEQUESTS TO CPC
In the past CPC has benefited from bequests and we ask you to consider doing the same in your estate planning. We have been advised that, as people's financial situations differ, it is wise to consult a lawyer and/or financial advisor before making an organization the beneficiary of an insurance policy or making a direct bequest in a will. In either case it is very important to cite the correct and full legal name of the organization.

or
Canadian Pensioners Concerned, Inc. (National)
