When you give a gift of securities to BGC, what you are really doing is putting stock into amazing kids! Gifts of securities can include stocks, flow-through shares, mutual funds, bonds, segregated funds, and employee stock options. You can choose to donate securities now, or as part of will and estate planning.
Not only does a gift of securities support BGC’s programs, including Clubs, Camp, Counselling, and Employment, it also provides benefits to the donor as well. Sounds like a win-win to us!
When you donate securities:
- You receive a tax receipt for the market value of your contribution
- You receive a non-refundable tax credit that reduces your income taxes. This can be used in the same year of your donation, or for up to five years following your donation.
- You pay no capital gains taxes on the appreciated value of your securities.
