GIVE A GIFT OF SECURITY
Why Donate a Gift of Securities to BGC Canada?
Donating publicly traded securities is one of the most impactful ways you can support BGC Canada. By giving a gift of securities—such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds—you can make a powerful difference in the lives of young people and benefit from tax advantages.
The Benefits of Giving Securities
When you donate securities directly to BGC Canada, you avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the asset. This means your donation has a greater impact, allowing you to give more to help young people across Canada unlock their full potential.
By donating securities, you can:
- Maximize your charitable tax receipt.
- Save on taxes while making a meaningful contribution.
- Help BGC Canada provide vital programs and services for children and youth in communities across the country.
How It Works
Donating securities is a straightforward process:
- Choose Your Gift: Decide which publicly traded securities—such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds—you would like to donate.
- Complete a Transfer Form: Fill out our Letter of Direction Form, which includes instructions for your financial advisor or brokerage firm to transfer your securities directly to BGC Canada.
- Notify Us: Send the completed form to BGC Canada so we can ensure a smooth transfer and issue your tax receipt promptly.
- Impact Lives: Once the securities are received, we sell them and use the proceeds to fund critical programs that empower children and youth.
Why Your Gift Matters
Your donation helps fund essential programs like after-school activities, mental health support, and leadership opportunities for children and youth across Canada. Together, we can create a brighter future for the next generation.
