Legacy Donors

March of Dimes Canada (MODC) is proud to celebrate the remarkable contributions of our legacy donors, whose visionary support advances our mission of creating a barrier-free Canada where everyone can flourish.

Legacy donors are pivotal in shaping our future programing and driving lasting change through their generous estate gifts, including contributions made in their wills. Their extraordinary generosity extends far beyond their lifetimes, inspiring and fueling our work to transform the lives of people with disabilities from coast to coast to coast. 

The support we receive through our Legacy Giving program is vital for ensuring our continued success and maintaining the highest quality programs and services for individuals with disabilities and their families.

We are immensely grateful for the trust and confidence our donors, partners, and service users place in us each day.  
Thank you!


Legacy Spotlight: Elizabeth Greville


Elizabeth Greville - Legacy ChangemakerIt is with deep gratitude and joy that we honour Elizabeth Greville as a March of Dimes Canada Legacy Changemaker. 

For nearly two decades, Elizabeth dedicated her time and energy as a generous supporter and leadership volunteer at March of Dimes Canada. She served in various roles on the Board of Directors and standing committees, demonstrating her unwavering commitment to programs that promote equity and support people with disabilities across Canada. Elizabeth was a cherished member of our community, and her dedication and generosity inspired a generation of staff, volunteers, and supporters. 

Our community was deeply saddened when Elizabeth passed away in 2022. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Elizabeth for her remembrance of March of Dimes Canada in her will through a generous financial contribution — an extraordinary act that continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people with disabilities and the communities we serve. Her generosity advances our mission of building an inclusive, barrier-free future for people with disabilities.
