Gifts of Stock

One of the most tax efficient ways to give

Gifts of stock

Donating publicly traded securities—like stocks, bonds, or mutual funds—is a powerful and tax-efficient way to make a meaningful impact. By transferring your securities directly to Lions Gate Hospital Foundation, you will:

  • Eliminate capital gains tax on any appreciated value
  • Receive a charitable tax receipt for the full market value on the day we receive the shares
  • Maximize your impact while reducing your taxes
