Maximize your giving power with securities donations.
A donation of securities or mutual fund shares is the most efficient way to give charitably. With a donation of securities or mutual funds, capital gains tax does not apply, allowing you to give more to the HHACF and get more in your charitable receipt.
Here's How it Works
Let’s say you purchased common shares in ABC Company for a cost of $1,000, and a few years later, they now have a current market value of $5,000. You would have a capital gain of $4,000.
The chart below illustrates what happens if you sell the shares and then donate the after-tax proceeds, and what happens if you donate the shares directly to the Haliburton Highlands Arts Centre Foundation.
By donating shares directly, you get a larger tax credit and give more to the HHACF (courtesy of Canada Helps).
