- Residuary – This gift consists of the remainder of your estate once your family and friends have been provided for and any taxes and charges are settled.
- Percentage/fractional – This is a gift in the form of a specified percentage of your estate.

Case Study
Norma and Don Bain were long-term supporters of OC Connections, with a history of generous practical
and financial contributions that spans over 50 years. Their involvement started in 1954 when their late son,
Bruce, was just five years old.
Bruce needed 24-hour care, and after experiencing firsthand the importance of being able to access quality
care and support for their son, Norma and Don decided that they wanted to help other families in similar
situations.
“When you have a family member with a physical or intellectual disability, it’s natural to want to help. While
we have always been generous in sharing our time and knowledge, we also wanted to make a lasting
financial contribution; something that would go beyond Bruce’s life and help the next generation”
says Don.
