Stocks & Securities

In late 2006 the federal government removed the capital gains tax owed on donations of publicly traded securities to registered charities.  This tax advantage substantially reduces the after-tax cost of giving. Individuals able to donate shares can make a significant gift and receive a tax receipt for the value of the shares*.

All donations, including gifts of securities, help keep Trillium Health Centre on the leading edge of medical care, with state-of-the-art equipment and modern facilities.

How to donate Securities

Please download and complete all sections of the securities donations form (link below), especially the CUSIP number which is provided by your broker/investment advisor. This number identifies your transaction to avoid delays. Income tax receipts issued will reflect the full value of shares as recorded on the date shares are received (electronically or via mail) at Trillium Health Centre Foundation.
