Give the Gift of Securities and Make a Big Difference for PEIHS and for YOU!
The largest emerging trend in charitable giving in Canada are gifts of securities. Gifts of securities can consist of appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, given to a charity in your name.
By donating publicly traded securities, you eliminate the capital gains tax that you’d have to pay if you sold the securities and then donated the proceeds. It’s a win-win!
Like a regular donation of funds, these gifts are eligible for a tax receipt, and can be donated at any time!
Many of our donors make an annual gift of their donation of securities. This way, they can make a contribution to the shelter each year without worrying about saving personal funds for charitable giving. Gifts of securities make it easier to give larger gifts over a greater period of time with minimal work on the donor’s part.
