Your gift – whether by cheque, credit card, direct deposit, or establishing a monthly pledge – will have an immediate impact on your community. You can choose to designate your gift to a specific project or unrestricted to support the CIC most immediate needs and priorities.
GIFTS OF STOCKS AND SECURITIES
A gift of publicly traded securities is both simple and tax-effective. You receive greater tax benefit through a gift of securities than you would if you sold the securities and donated the cash proceeds to charity. Gifts eligible for this preferred tax treatment can include any of the following securities: Prescribed bonds, Units of mutual funds, and Shares, warrants, bills and futures that are listed on the stock exchanges prescribed by CRA.
You can assign your gift to any of our active projects or programs, and make it unrestricted.
