A donation of securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. Since capital gains taxes don’t apply, our charity receives the full fair market value when the security is sold, and you get a tax receipt which reflects your larger contribution. This allows you to give more and get more.
CanadaHelps will continue to process donations of securities up until December 30th, 2024.
Benefits include:
- Reduced taxes
- When you donate securities directly to Ecotrust Canada, the capital gains tax is eliminated, which allows you to donate more
- Instant tax receipt
- You will receive a charitable tax receipt for the full market value of the security after the sale is completed
