Donate Securities
When you make a gift of securities to Make-A-Wish Canada, you are helping to bring hope and joy to a child living with a critical illness. By donating publicly traded securities, you also receive double the benefits. We recommend you seek the advice of an accountant or financial advisor to decide which investments will make the most philanthropic and financial benefit to you.
The Advantages of Donating Securities
Donating securities can be a strategic way to manage your investment portfolio’s capital gains.
Maximize Your Impact
Donating appreciated stocks, mutual funds or stock options means you pay no tax on the capital gains.
Tax Efficiency
Receive a tax receipt for the fair market value of the securities based on the closing price on the day the securities have legally transferred to the Make-A-Wish Foundations’ investment account.
Simplicity
The process is straightforward, with immediate tax benefits and no need to convert securities to cash first.
