Support healthcare at the Delta Hospital Campus of Care and enjoy valuable tax benefits 

As the end of the year approaches, it’s the perfect time to think about tax planning—and how your charitable giving can go even further in your community. 

By donating publicly traded securities to the Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation (DHCH Foundation), you can make a powerful contribution to local healthcare while enjoying one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. Since 1988, thanks to generous supporters like you, the Foundation has raised over $100 million to enhance the Delta Hospital Campus of Care, including Mountain View Manor and Irene Thomas Hospice. 

Why Donate Securities? 

When you give appreciated securities such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds directly to DHCH Foundation, you can: 

• Reduce Capital Gains Tax: Avoid paying tax on the capital gains from your appreciated investments. 
• Receive a Full Tax Receipt: Get a charitable tax receipt for the fair market value of your securities at the time of transfer. 
• Make a Meaningful Impact: Your gift will support urgent equipment needs and future projects that improve care across the Delta Hospital Campus. 
• Act Before Year-End: To qualify for the 2025 tax year, your securities must be received by December 31, 2025—some transfers take time, so plan early!

Your Gift in Action

• $2.2 million investment in urgently needed medical equipment 
• $18.25 million toward the new Beedie Long-Term Care Centre 
• Approval to launch an $8 million campaign to upgrade Delta Hospital’s Endoscopy program 

By donating securities instead of cash, you may be able to give more than you thought possible, while making a lasting difference in the health and wellbeing of your community.
