Gifts of Securities
Wesley gratefully accepts charitable donations of publicly listed securities.
Donors can receive a tax receipt for the market value on the date of transfer AND avoid paying capital gains if the transfer of securities is made from the donor’s account directly to the charity’s account.
You can learn more about why you might wish to do this in the presentation link on the right hand side of this pace titled Info: Gifts of Securities, created by the Canadian Association of Gift Planners for Willpower, a national campaign Wesley has partnered with to raise awareness of legacy and planned gifts.
At Wesley, there are two ways to give securities:
- Canada Helps can receive your securities and transfer the value to Wesley as a donation. This is a quick and easy electronic process. Please click here to get started:
- You and your broker can complete the Transfer of Securities Form located on right column of this page and follow the instructions.
You are always welcome to speak with our knowledgeable staff about the donation process and the difference you can make by donating to Wesley today.
