The Benjamin Foundation ... Helping you honour a memory

The Benjamin Foundation fulfils a role unique in North America by offering bereaved families the ability to establish a memorial fund to hold donations in trust until they are ready to meaningfully honour the deceased.

When donations are consolidated through The Benjamin Foundation, the charity receiving the funds knows it was selected because of its meaning to the deceased and his or her family. Families often continue the relationship with the charity through new gifts and fundraising.

Every day at The Benjamin Foundation, we see how people are lifted out of their sorrow through the chance to give to a cause that speaks to the character and life of the one they mourn.

Establish a Memorial Fund

Death is always a shock, even when it is anticipated. You need to focus on getting through the funeral, through the shiva. The Benjamin Foundation can handle memorial donations until you are ready to assume the funds. This temporary arrangement allows time to grieve, to learn more about needs in the community and to select charities that honour the deceased most meaningfully.

To be inspired by the record of memorial gifts!

Since its inception in 1983, The Benjamin Foundation has pursued its mission to:

•	Ensure newly bereaved families don't have to worry about where to designate memorial donations while they are in full mourning;
•	Help those families make meaningful memorial gift donations, when they are ready to.
