Among the donations the Foundation received in its 2005-6 fiscal year was a $100,000 bequest from Mackenzie McMurray. This donation supported the research programs of the Douglas, particularly the work of people like Eric Latimer and Tom Brown profiled in the Leadership Memo of June 2006.

The Foundation has joined the Quebec Leave a Legacy program which, through an annual media campaign encourages Quebecers to consider a bequest to a charity.
