Stock & Securities

A gift of securities or shares of a mutual fund are the most efficient way to make a charitable donation. When donating securities or shares of a mutual fund the capital gains tax does not apply, allowing you to give more and avoid paying capital gains taxes.

A gift of securities can include:

  • Shares, bonds, warrants and options, if listed on a prescribed exchange
  • Widely held mutual fund shares/units and segregated fund units
