A gift through securities will help reduce your taxes while supporting the Delta Hospital Campus of Care

As the year ends, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your charitable giving strategy. If you’re looking to make a meaningful impact on your community while benefiting from tax savings, consider donating publicly traded securities to the Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation (DHCH Foundation).

By donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, you ensure that Delta Hospital, including Irene Thomas Hospice and Mountain View Manor, can continue to deliver exceptional healthcare. Plus, your donation can reduce taxes, making an even greater impact on healthcare in Delta.

Why Donate Securities?

Donating publicly traded securities to DHCH Foundation offers several key tax advantages:

• Reduce Capital Gains Tax: Donating appreciated securities avoids capital gains tax on the increase in value of your assets.
• Charitable Tax Receipt: You’ll receive a tax receipt for the fair market value of your securities, which can reduce your tax liability.
• Big Impact on Healthcare: Your gift can help address critical needs at Delta Hospital and support long-term healthcare goals.
• Time-Sensitive: To receive credit for the 2024 tax year, be sure to complete transfers by December 31, 2024.

Making a year-end gift is easy. Follow these steps:

2. Complete the Transfer Form on the DHCH Foundation website.

Your Impact: Last Year’s Success

Last year, securities donations funded the purchase of a 3D Mammography system, enabling earlier breast cancer detection and a more comfortable screening process. Donations also contributed to the “Coming Home” capital campaign to transform seniors care in Delta.

Why Choose Securities Over Cash?

Donating securities can allow you to give more than cash while enjoying tax benefits. Your contribution will directly impact the Delta Hospital Campus’ services, ensuring continued high-quality care for years to come.
