Registered Retirement Savings Plan

Planning and saving for retirement is an important step in stewarding the resources God has entrusted to you. With a CCMBC Investments Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), you can start saving for your retirement while deferring income tax and investing in the growth of God’s Kingdom.

At age 71, an RRSP is converted to a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) to provide regular retirement income.

Key Features

  • Interest earn in the RRSP investment are tax-free while the funds remain in the plan
  • Contributions are subtracted from your income, which can help reduce the amount of incomes taxes you pay
  • Your RRSP can be used to help fund your education¹ or first home without penalty², as long as you repay the funds within the established guidelines

Registered Retirement Income Fund

A Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) can provide a steady flow of income during your retirement years. You can transfer eligible registered savings or pension plan assets into a RRIF with CCMBC Investments, allowing you to receive regular retirement income payments while continuing to benefit from tax-deferred growth within the plan.

A RRIF is an arrangement between you and CCMBC Investments that is registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). You transfer eligible property into the RRIF, and the Fund makes regular retirement income payments to you.

Examples of property eligible for transfer into CCMBC Investments include: a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), a Pooled Registered Pension Plan (PRPP), a Registered Pension Plan (RPP), a Spousal Pension Plan (SPP), or another RRIF.

Key Features

  • No administration fees
  • Competitive interest rates
  • Interest and dividends earned in the RRIF are tax-free
  • Ability to hold multiple RRIFs
  • RRIF payments are eligible for a $2,000 pension tax credit after age 65

Withdrawal Guidelines

A minimum annual amount must be withdrawn from your Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF), beginning in the year after the RRIF is established. Payments received from your RRIF are taxable as income when you receive them.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) sets the minimum withdrawal amounts for RRIFs established after 1992. Up to and including age 70, the minimum annual withdrawal percentage is calculated using the following formula:

1 ÷ (90 − your current age)

For example, at age 65, the minimum withdrawal percentage is:

1 ÷ (90 − 65) = 4%

For a RRIF with a balance of $100,000, the minimum annual withdrawal would therefore be $4,000.

Beginning at age 71, the CRA’s prescribed withdrawal percentages apply. The percentage increases with age according to the prescribed schedule.

Gift of Securities

CCMBC Legacy Fund is pleased to facilitate gifts of securities to Mennonite Brethren ministries. While we do not charge a fee for this service, a small brokerage commission charged by the executing broker is deducted from the proceeds realized on the sale of the securities. This commission does not affect the value of the charitable donation receipt issued to the donor.

How it Works

step by step guide

  • Step 1 - Complete the Donation Form and Initiate the Donation The donor must complete the Charitable Donation of Publicly Traded Securities Form and forward it to their broker or financial advisor to initiate the transfer to our brokerage account. The donor should also email a copy of the completed form to our office, as our broker does not receive information identifying the donor or the intended recipient charity.
  • Step 2 - Confirm Receipt and Send Instructions to Broker Upon receiving confirmation from our broker that the securities have been transferred into our brokerage account, and upon receipt of a copy of the completed donation form from the donor, we will instruct our broker to sell the securities.

    Please note that donations received on January 2nd cannot be receipted for the previous calendar year. As the transfer can take some time, donors should be aware of this and initiate the transaction early enough to ensure the donation is in our account by December 31st if receipting is a concern.
  • Step 3 - Sell Securities and Disburse the Funds The securities are sold promptly upon receipt, without consultation with the designated recipient charity, and the proceeds are subsequently disbursed.
  • Step 4 - Remit Proceeds to the Charity Once the securities have been sold and the funds received from our broker, we remit the net proceeds to the charity designated by the donor.

Charitable Donation Receipts

The issuance of charitable donation receipts is the responsibility of the designated recipient charity identified by the donor on the donation form.

 

CCMBC Legacy Fund Inc. acts solely as the facilitator and administrator of the securities transfer process. Accordingly, CCMBC Legacy Fund Inc. does not issue charitable donation receipts for gifts of securities.

 

Note: The donor's charitable donation receipt will generally reflect the fair market value of the securities on the date they are received in the brokerage account of the designated recipient charity, in accordance with the charity's receipting policies and applicable Canada Revenue Agency requirements.

When Someone Else Needs to Speak for You

Many people assume that if something unexpected happened, their spouse or adult children would automatically be able to make decisions for them. In reality, that is often not the case.

 

Questions around powers of attorney and living wills are some of the most misunderstood parts of estate and personal planning. People are often unsure what these documents actually do. When do they come into effect? Who should be chosen? What authority do they give? What can happen if they are missing or outdated?

 

In this practical 30-minute webinar, we’ll explore the important role powers of attorney and healthcare directives play in protecting both you and your family during illness, incapacity, emergencies, or later stages of life. It’s about making your wishes known, reducing stress for loved ones, and ensuring trusted people are able to help when needed most. Whether you are creating these documents for the first time or reviewing older plans, this session will help bring clarity and confidence to an area many people avoid simply because they don’t fully understand it.

Date: October 1, 2026

Time: 12:00 pm ET

You created your will when your children were young, your priorities were different, and life looked very different than it does today. But if your children are now adults and your estate plan hasn’t been revisited in years, it may be time to take another look.

 

Join us to explore why estate plans should evolve alongside your family. As children grow older, relationships shift, assets change, responsibilities expand, and new questions often emerge around executors, powers of attorney, inheritances, family communication, aging parents, blended families, and long-term planning goals.

 

This session will help you understand when an estate plan should be reviewed, common areas families overlook after children become adults, and how to approach planning conversations with grown children in healthy and productive ways. We’ll also discuss practical updates that may help reduce future confusion, protect family relationships, and ensure your current wishes are clearly reflected in your documents.

Time: 8:00 pm ET

You want your giving to make a difference. But figuring out the smartest, simplest, and most effective way to give can sometimes feel surprisingly complicated. What is a donor-advised fund exactly? How does it work? Is it only for wealthy families? And why are more Canadians choosing this approach for charitable giving?


In this webinar, we’ll unpack everything you need to know about donor-advised funds (DAFs) in Canada —without the jargon or complexity.

 

We’ll explore how donor-advised funds work, the flexibility and tax advantages they can offer, and how they can help individuals, families, and business owners give more intentionally over time. Whether you’re supporting your church, favourite charities, community organizations, or causes you care deeply about, this session will help you understand how a foundation-style approach to giving can simplify generosity and create lasting impact.

Date: October 29, 2026

Time: 12:00 pm ET

No two families look exactly alike, and estate planning should reflect that. For many Canadians, family relationships are layered and beautifully complex. There may be second marriages, stepchildren, aging parents, adult children, grandchildren, shared properties, family businesses, caregiving responsibilities, or loved ones with unique financial or personal needs. But when estate plans don’t fully reflect those realities, misunderstandings, conflict, and unintended outcomes can happen far too easily.

 

This practical and compassionate webinar explores estate planning for today’s families including blended families, common law relationships, multi-generational households, caregiving situations, and other unique family dynamics that require additional care and clarity.

 

Whether your situation is simple or complex, this session will help you think more intentionally about the people you love and the legacy you hope to leave behind.

Date: November 10, 2026

Time: 8:00 pm ET

Charitable giving can be one of the most powerful tools within an estate plan when approached strategically. This is a practical webinar focused on how to integrate philanthropy into your overall financial and estate planning strategy. This session will explore how individuals and families can structure charitable giving in ways that maximize impact, support long-term priorities, and align with broader family and financial objectives. We’ll discuss key planning tools including charitable bequests, trusts, donor-advised funds, insurance strategies, and tax-efficient giving options, along with how these tools can be used to create flexibility, clarity, and long-term philanthropic impact.

 

Whether you are considering a future legacy gift, supporting multiple charitable interests, or looking for more intentional ways to incorporate giving into your estate plan, this webinar will provide practical insight into building a philanthropic strategy that is both meaningful and effective.
