Q. What are the benefits of gifting securities directly to a charitable organization?

A. When you donate securities, there are benefits to both you and your favourite charity.  By gifting securities including stocks, bonds and mutual funds, you eliminate capital gains tax, you receive a charitable tax receipt for the full current value of the shares, and you get to donate more to your charity of choice. Donating securities is one of the most tax efficient ways to support a cause you care about, and a great way to make a meaningful gift before the end of the year.  Before you decide to donate securities directly, we advise that you discuss your personal circumstances with your financial advisor.
