Meaningful Ways to Make an Impact
Donate Stocks or Securities
Donating appreciated securities can be a tax-efficient way to support charitable programs.
When you donate securities that have increased in value, capital gains tax is not charged on the appreciated value, allowing more of your gift to support programs in Lesotho.
What are the benefits of donating securities?
Gifting securities is an efficient and strategic way to give charitably. When you give securities, you pay no capital gains tax on the appreciated value. This allows you to give more to the charity you care about and reduce your income taxes.
What types of securities are eligible?
Stocks, income trust units, bonds, mutual fund units and shares. Investments held in a registered account, such as an RRSP, do not qualify for these tax savings.
Securities that have not increased in value since the purchase date will not confer the same benefits, as capital gains tax will not be owed – so it is wise to choose stocks that have appreciated in value.
How are my securities valued?
Valuation will be calculated based on the closing price on the date the transfer occurs.
