"Planned giving is about creating a lasting legacy. Once people understand their options and the benefits of philanthropy, it makes it easier to give."

Victoria General Hospital Foundation's Financial Health Advisory Council (pictured above) is a dedicated team of professionals who take care of your financial health and the health of our community by donating their time and expertise to the Vic.

Members are available to provide private counsel to those who wish to support the Vic. They understand the benefits of planned giving and provide charitable planning alternatives to help you maximize your financial health while realizing your philanthropic goals.

The 24-member Advisory Council is comprised of professionals in the fields of law, estate and financial planning, insurance, real estate, banking and trust management, and funeral pre-planning. Members serve as a resource to the Foundation and donors, providing information on charitable options and the benefits of planned giving.

If you are interested in making a planned gift, have questions about planned giving options, or would like to receive information about our Financial Health Advisory Council, please call 477-3513. We look forward to hearing from you!
