Please check with your human resources or finance department to confirm whether your employer has a matching gift or volunteer grants program.

Inside Out holds an annual Silent Auction fundraiser at the Launch of our Toronto 2SLGBTQ+ Film Festival. If you or your business are interested in making a donation of goods or services towards this event.

A charitable gift in your last will and testament, known as a bequest, can be in the form of a sum of money, a specific property, a percentage of the residue of your estate, a life insurance policy, an RRSP or a contingency gift. The tax credit resulting from a bequest can provide valuable tax savings to your estate. Making a gift through your will is a meaningful way to celebrate your legacy while making a lasting commitment to Inside Out and the Toronto 2SLGBTQ+ community.

We also recommend that you speak with your financial and legal advisors when considering these types of gifts to ensure that your financial goals are considered, your tax situation is reviewed and your planned gift is tailored to your individual circumstances.
