Current campaign
Before the first children can move in, one precise need has to be met: a well, so every child has access to clean drinking water from day one. The cost of drilling is $6,950 CAD ($5,000 USD), a figure already accounted for in our published construction budget.
Donate toward the wellA lasting legacy
A planned gift is one you arrange during your lifetime, which Maison Elim generally receives later — often as part of your estate. It's a way to leave a lasting legacy, with no impact on your current lifestyle.
An amount, a percentage of your estate, or a specific asset left to Maison Elim. Flexible, revisable at any time.
Name Maison Elim as beneficiary of a new or existing policy. A significant gift for modest premiums.
Simple to set up, often without even changing your will — and tax-advantaged for your estate.
Transfer securities directly to Maison Elim and generally avoid capital gains tax.
Maison Elim is not able to provide tax or legal advice. We encourage every donor to consult their own notary, lawyer, or financial advisor.
Download the documents to discuss with your notary, or to let us know of your intention.
