Planned Giving

"I remain committed to supporting LLLC nearly 25 years after the birth of my son because of all you did for me as a mom."     ~ Diane, LLLC donor

You can help make sure that La Leche League Canada's mother-to-mother support for breastfeeding is available for future generations! Through a bequest in your will or another type of legacy gift, you can ensure that the La Leche League tradition continues.

Leaving a legacy is not an option only for wealthy donors. Leslie considers herself an average-income Canadian, yet she and her husband were able to easily include a gift to LLLC in their estate planning.

"It never would have occurred to me that I could make a gift in this way. I have been a regular donor to La Leche League Canada for years and I wanted to do more for this organization that I love so much. The brochure gave me the idea and I checked into it when we were reviewing our wills."                                            ~Leslie, LLLC planned giving donor
