Planned Giving
A forever kind of gift for a forever kind of School.
Planned giving is deciding in advance what happens to your estate.
Whether it is through a will bequest, life insurance, securities and investments, real estate or memorial donations, a ‘well planned’ gift to KES guarantees your legacy makes a statement about the things that are important to you while ensuring your family and estate also receives the benefits of your generosity. A planned gift is something everyone can consider regardless of your age and financial situation.
The ultimate goal of planned giving is to secure the School's long-term financial foundation while providing you with flexible and advantageous ways to demonstrate your passion for the School.
Listen to the words of alumnus, Michal Racek, to learn what a King's-Edgehill School education means to him.
The Benefits of Planned Giving

- Potential to maximize your income
- A donation option that is uncomplicated
- The ability to leave a larger donation to the School than you may have thought possible
- The opportunity to leave your mark on the School long term with little or no financial obligation during your lifetime

1788 Fideliter Society
THE 1788 FIDELITER SOCIETY celebrates members of our community who choose to shape the future of King’s-Edgehill School through a planned gift. Whether through a bequest, life insurance policy, annuity, securities, or other legacy arrangements, these commitments ensure that the values and opportunities of KES continue to flourish for generations. The society’s name reflects the School’s deep roots and enduring spirit. 1788 marks the founding of King’s College School, the beginning of Canada’s oldest independent school. Fideliter, meaning “faithfulness and loyalty”, honours the proud motto of Edgehill School for Girls. Together, they symbolize more than two centuries of excellence, character, and community. Becoming part of the 1788 Fideliter Society is a meaningful way to leave a lasting imprint on the School’s mission. Members help safeguard the traditions, experiences, and transformative education that define KES, ensuring that future students benefit from the same strength of community that has shaped our past.
This special society will honour those who have made provisions for a future gift to King’s-Edgehill School through a bequest, life insurance policy, annuity, a donation of stocks/securities, a donation of RRSPs/RRIFs/TFSAs or through another trust arrangement. There are no dues of obligations, but as a member of the 1788 Fideliter Society, you will be our guest at an annual recognition event and your name will be listed with other Society members in the KES report, the Alumni magazine, and on the KES website.
