Make Your Gift of Securities Today
The Dementia Society welcomes gifts in the form of securities.
A gift of publicly-traded stocks, bonds or mutual funds is a tax efficient way for you to donate to The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County. The Government of Canada offers a special tax incentive for individuals that donate appreciated publicly-traded securities and stocks to Canadian registered charities. Your gift of publicly-traded securities to Canadian registered charities, such as The Dementia Society, is fully exempt of capital gains tax.
How to Gift Securities
By instructing your broker to transfer your shares to The Dementia Society, you will be issued a charitable receipt from The Dementia Society for the fair market value of the shares on the date the donated shares are deposited to The Dementia Society’s account.
The securities must be transferred “in-kind” to The Dementia Society and not be sold by the donor.
To make a gift of stocks or securities to The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County, download and complete the following transfer form, and forward your instructions to The Dementia Society’s broker of record listed on the form.
And be assured that your gift is a meaningful way to let people facing dementia in our community know you want to make a difference.
