Donating Securities
Donating public securities and mutual funds is the most tax-smart way to make donations in Canada. When someone gives a gift of a security or mutual fund that’s increased in value since its purchase, they avoid the capital gains tax. This means you benefit from a tax receipt for the full value of the security or mutual fund!
We use CanadaHelps to make it easy and seamless to make your donation. Once the transfer is complete, CanadaHelps will notify you via e-mail and send you a tax receipt for the value of your donation. They will also disburse the funds to the charity you’ve chosen, less the low, non-commercial administration fee.
If you prefer offline donation of securities, it easy for your broker to transfer your shares from your brokerage account to L’Arche Antigonish. Please talk to your broker for additional information.
