Give a gift of Publicly Traded Securities or Mutual Funds

 

Did you know? A donation of securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. If you donate the securities in-kind, the taxable capital gain is avoided, and you will receive a charitable receipt for the market value of the securities on the day you initiate the transfer. This allows you to give more and get more.

 

CanadaHelps, our trusted partner, will process the donation of your security on our behalf. 
Here’s how it works:


Complete the online pledge: Provide details about your securities or mutual funds donation. Once complete, download the Letter of Direction form. You will also receive an email confirming your pledge. CanadaHelps will receive and process your pledge.

 

Send the completed Letter of Direction to your broker authorizing the transfer of your shares to CanadaHelps. It typically takes 1 to 2 working days for the transfer to settle within the CanadaHelps account.

 

CanadaHelps will promptly sell the shares: Once proceeds are received, CanadaHelps will send you a detailed confirmation email with your charitable tax receipt and disburse the proceeds from the sale to Somerset West Community Health Centre.

 

Do you use a Direct Investing platform such as RBC Direct Invest, TD Waterhouse Direct Investing, Scotia iTrade, or QuestTrade?
You may need to complete the Letter of Authorization/Direction Form available from your Direct Investing firm. The Letter of Direction CanadaHelps provides at the end of your pledge includes all the information you will need to complete their form.
