It comes into effect after the person passes away. Instead of giving all funds right away, the Will can direct money or assets into a trust that supports a specific cause, like accessible transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know this doesn&#8217;t look like the typical grant opportunity you&#8217;d find on a government funding page. You won&#8217;t see a shiny \u201capply now\u201d button. No confetti. No five-minute form. Still, for charities, non-profits, First Nations, community living organizations, and care providers, this can be a meaningful way to plan future funding for wheelchair vans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A testamentary charitable trust is often part of a larger planned giving strategy. In Canada, estate donations may qualify for a charitable donation tax credit, and the Canada Revenue Agency explains that an estate can generally claim the credit in the year the donation is made or in the following 5 years. That can make this option useful for donors who want their legacy to support a real community need, like helping people get to appointments, programs, work, and family visits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How can this support funding for a wheelchair van?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of a community foundation in Saskatchewan that works with a local seniors\u2019 group. A donor may want part of their estate to support transportation for older adults and people with disabilities. Their Will could create a trust that directs income toward accessible transportation. Over time, that funding could help the organization <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/reparation-ou-remplacement-dun-fourgon-pour-fauteuils-roulants-avantages-et-inconvenients\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">purchase, replace, or maintain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a wheelchair van.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This approach may work well when your organization has a clear case for support. Donors and families often want to know their gift will create real change. A wheelchair van gives them something concrete to support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can help fund:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vehicle purchase costs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Funds can go toward buying an accessible van.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Conversion costs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Support can help cover <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/ramps-vs-lifts-wheelchair-vans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ramps, lifts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, flooring, seating, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/comment-fixer-un-fauteuil-roulant-dans-une-camionnette\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">securement systems<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Long-term replacement:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Trust income can help plan for the next vehicle before the current one ages out.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Service access:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Funding can support transportation for medical visits, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/adc-and-non-profit-wheelchair-van-funding\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adult day programs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, outreach, or community events.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where the gap becomes clear. Without reliable transportation, people may be physically close to care but still unable to reach it.

They may also involve lawyers, estate planners, trustees, family members, and your organization&#8217;s leadership team. That&#8217;s why this option works best as a long-term strategy, rather than a quick fix for an urgent vehicle need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your organization can prepare by building clear donation language and simple impact stories. For example, instead of saying, \u201cWe need a van,\u201d you might say, \u201cA wheelchair van can help 14 adults attend day programming 5 days a week in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/delivering-wheelchair-vans-remote-locations-canada\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rural Nova Scotia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d That paints a much clearer picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few steps to consider:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Talk to advisors:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Work with legal and financial professionals before setting up or accepting trust gifts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Define the purpose:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> State that the gift can support <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/types-de-fourgonnettes-accessibles-en-fauteuil-roulant\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">transport accessible<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or wheelchair van funding.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Show the impact:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Share how the van will improve access, dignity, and connection.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Plan ahead:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Create a replacement plan so future donors know the need won&#8217;t disappear next year.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re wondering how to get funding for a wheelchair van without relying only on grants, this is one option worth discussing with your board, donors, and professional advisors. It may take longer, but it can help build steady support for people who need dependable transportation to stay part of community life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, let\u2019s take a look at another funding route.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How do you fund a wheelchair van through charitable bequests?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_194969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-194969\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-194969\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/P4-3-in-1-Van.jpg\" alt=\"Fourgon P4 3 en 1 pour le transport ambulatoire, de fauteuils roulants et de civi\u00e8res.\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/P4-3-in-1-Van.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/P4-3-in-1-Van-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-194969\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fourgon P4 3-en-1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.charitylawgroup.ca\/charity-law-questions\/charitable-bequests-in-canada\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">charitable bequest<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help fund a wheelchair van through a gift someone leaves in their Will. This gift may be money, property, investments, or a percentage of the person&#8217;s estate. It goes to a charity or a qualified organization after the person passes away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We understand this may not be the first funding option that comes to mind. Most people searching for funding for a wheelchair van expect grants, rebates, or government programs. Charitable bequests are different. They sit in the planned giving world, which sounds a bit formal. Maybe even a little dusty. But the impact can be very real.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Canadian charities, non-profits, care homes, First Nations, community living organizations, and senior support programs, bequests can create future funding for wheelchair vans. They give donors a way to support mobility, dignity, and access long after their lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Canada Revenue Agency says qualified donees, including registered charities, can issue official donation receipts for gifts they receive. CRA also notes that donation tax credits may apply to eligible gifts made through an estate. That can make charitable bequests a useful option for donors who care about both legacy and impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How can charitable bequests support funding for wheelchair vans?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A bequest is often simpler than a testamentary trust. A trust may hold and manage money over time. A bequest usually gives a set gift to your organization after the estate is settled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, imagine a retired teacher in rural Ontario who spent years helping adults with disabilities get to community programs. In their Will, they leave $50,000 to a local non-profit for accessible transportation. That gift could help the organization buy a wheelchair van, add accessible features, or reduce the amount they need to finance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That type of gift can help close the gap between what your organization can afford today and what your clients need tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A charitable bequest may support:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A vehicle deposit:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The gift can help your team get the project moving.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Conversion features:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Funds can help pay for a ramp, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/lifts-for-wheelchair-vans-pros-cons\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ascenseur<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, securement system, flooring, or seating.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fleet replacement:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Bequests can help replace an aging van before <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/van-wheelchair-lift-maintenance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">repairs pile up<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Local access:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A gift can help people attend medical visits, day programs, employment supports, or family events.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This matters because transportation gaps can quietly grow. At first, it&#8217;s one missed program. Then it&#8217;s several missed appointments. Before long, staff are spending more time finding rides than supporting people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How can your organization prepare for charitable bequests?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your organization doesn&#8217;t have to wait for a donor to bring up legacy giving. You can make it easier for people to understand how a gift in their Will could help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with clear language. A donor should know what their gift can support and why it helps. \u201cSupport accessible transportation\u201d is good. \u201cHelp fund a wheelchair van that gives seniors in northern Manitoba <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/safety-features-in-wheelchair-van\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">safe rides<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to health appointments and community programs\u201d is stronger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also prepare simple materials for donors, families, and advisors. These don&#8217;t need to be fancy. Clear wins every time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider creating:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A planned giving page:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Explain how bequests can support accessible transportation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sample Will wording:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ask a legal professional to help create wording donors can review with their lawyer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Impact examples:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Share how many people a wheelchair van could serve each week.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A contact person:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Make it easy for donors or executors to ask questions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re exploring how to get funding for a wheelchair van beyond the usual grant search, charit<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">able bequests can be a smart long-term option. They may not be able to solve an urgent vehicle need this month. But they can help build a stronger future for the people who rely on your organization to stay connected, included, and on the move.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How do you fund a wheelchair van through designated endowments?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A designated endowment can help fund a wheelchair van through a permanent fund that creates support year after year. Instead of spending the full gift right away, the money is invested. A portion of the earnings can then support a specific purpose, like accessible transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another option that doesn&#8217;t look like a regular grant. There may be no deadline, no intake period, and no short application form hiding at the bottom of a government page. A designated endowment is usually built through donors, foundations, or planned giving programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For organizations in Canada, this can be a strong long-term tool. It can help support wheelchair van replacement, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/maintenance-your-wheelchair-van-needs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">entretien<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.movemobility.ca\/fr\/ressources\/fuel-costs-for-wheelchair-vans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fuel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, insurance, or future upgrades. That steady support can be valuable when your clients depend on transportation every week, not once in a blue moon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A designated endowment can be set up through your own organization, a community foundation, or a donor-advised fund. Many Canadian communities already have local foundations that manage endowments for charities and non-profits. For example,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/communityfoundations.ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Community Foundations of Canada<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> connects local foundations across the country that support community needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How do designated endowments support funding for wheelchair vans?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A designated endowment works well when your organization wants funding for wheelchair vans to last beyond one purchase. It can help you move from \u201cHow do we pay for this van?\u201d to \u201cHow do we keep accessible transportation stable for the next 10 years?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of a community living organization in Alberta. It has one aging wheelchair van that helps clients attend work placements, recreation programs, and medical visits. A local donor creates an endowment for accessible transportation. Each year, the fund provides money toward vehicle costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That yearly support could help cover:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Entretien :<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Regular service, repairs, tires, and safety checks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Operations:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fuel, insurance, cleaning, and driver-related costs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Accessibility upgrades:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Securement systems, seating changes, ramps, or lifts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Replacement planning:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Savings toward the next wheelchair van.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Program access:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Transportation for day programs, appointments, and community outings.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This helps your organization avoid the all-too-familiar scramble. You know the one. The van needs repairs, the budget is tight, and everyone suddenly becomes a spreadsheet detective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>How do designated endowments create long-term transportation stability?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A designated endowment may not be the fastest way to fund a wheelchair van. It\u2019s more like planting a tree than buying lumber. The value grows over time, and the support can continue each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That makes it useful for organizations that want to plan ahead. Accessible transportation is rarely a one-time need. People still need rides next month. Your vehicle still needs repairs next year.
