Leave a Legacy
Help the stories that matter reach the next generation
A film can stay with us long after the credits roll. It can introduce us to a life unlike our own, challenge something we have always believed, or help us feel understood for the first time.
A legacy gift supporting the Sundar Prize Film Festival can help future audiences experience those moments.
By including a gift in your will, you can carry your love of film and commitment to a more compassionate world into the future.
Your belief in storytelling can live on
Your future gift could help:
- Bring meaningful films to audiences in Surrey, Delta, and beyond.
- Create opportunities for emerging and underrepresented filmmakers.
- Support screenings, filmmaker conversations, and community learning.
- Share stories about human rights, identity, belonging, and the world we share.
A lasting gift starts with a simple decision
Planned giving means arranging a charitable gift today that will often be received in the future. A gift in your will is one of the most familiar ways to do this.
After providing for your loved ones, you can leave a fixed amount or a percentage of the remainder of your estate to support the causes you care about.
You do not need a large estate to make a difference. A gift that feels right for you can help sustain meaningful storytelling for future generations.
Ways to support the future of the festival
Leave a gift in your will
Consider a specific dollar amount or a percentage of the remainder of your estate. You retain your assets during your lifetime, and your lawyer can help ensure your wishes are clearly expressed.
Give through a beneficiary designation
An RRSP, RRIF, TFSA, or life insurance policy may provide another way to arrange a future gift. Speak with your professional advisor about naming the registered charity as a beneficiary and with us about your intention to support Sundar Prize.
Consider a gift of securities via CanadaHelps
Publicly traded stocks, bonds, or mutual funds may be given during your lifetime or through your estate. Contact us before arranging a transfer so we can discuss how the gift can support the festival.
Remember someone through the stories they loved
A legacy gift can honour a film lover, storyteller, community advocate, or someone whose values you want to carry forward. We would be pleased to discuss your wishes.
How to direct your gift to Sundar Prize
The Sundar Prize Film Festival is a project of Sher Pride, a registered Canadian charity legally named Sher Vancouver LGBTQ Friends Society.
A gift intended to support the festival should identify the registered charity as the legal recipient. Please contact us before finalizing your plans so we can discuss the proposed purpose with you and your advisor.
This helps ensure your instructions reflect your wishes and can be fulfilled. Your advisor can also address how the gift should be used if the festival’s activities change in the future.
