Gifts of Stock

One of the most tax efficient ways to give

Gifts of stock

Donating publicly traded securities, such as stocks, bonds or mutual funds, is a simple and tax-smart way to support Lions Gate Hospital. When you transfer securities directly to Lions Gate Hospital Foundation, you can:

  • 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

1
Download and complete our Letter of Direction
2
Send the signed form to your broker to authorize the transfer to LGHF
3
Send a copy to LGHF
4
We take care of the rest
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.
