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 appreciated securities
- Receive a charitable tax receipt for the full market value on the day we receive the shares
- Maximize your impact while reducing your taxes
How it works
Once the shares are received, we will sell them and issue a tax receipt based on the closing price on the date the shares are received.
Using a self-directed investment account?
If your securities are held with a self-directed brokerage such as Wealthsimple, TD Direct Investing or Scotia iTRADE, we have step-by-step transfer instructions to help.
