gifts of securities

Great Tax Benefits to You

In 2006, the Government of Canada introduced a special tax incentive for individuals that donate appreciated publicly traded securities and stocks to Canadian registered charities. You can give a gift of publicly traded securities to The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County and eliminate 100% of the capital gains tax.

If you own stocks or mutual funds that have grown in value, you may face a tax bill when you sell them. By donating them directly to The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County you reduce your tax bill and make a significant gift at the same time.
