Donate a Gift of Securities
A meaningful way to give, today and into the future
When you choose to donate a gift of securities, you’re making a thoughtful and impactful decision, one that supports the people we serve, while also making the most of your charitable giving.
Gifts of publicly traded securities, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, are a simple and powerful way to create lasting change.
What is a gift of securities?
A gift of securities is a donation of investments you hold, rather than a cash gift.
By donating securities directly, instead of selling them first, you may avoid paying capital gains tax, allowing more of your gift to go toward supporting DeafBlind Ontario Foundation.
Why give a gift of securities?
Many donors choose this option because it can benefit both you and the charity you support.
Higher tax savings for you
When you donate securities, capital gains tax does not apply, making it one of the most tax-efficient ways to give.
Give more. Receive more.
Because you’re not paying tax on the gain, you may be able to give a larger gift and receive a larger charitable tax receipt.
Simple and flexible
Through CanadaHelps, you can easily donate securities while supporting DeafBlind Ontario Foundation.
