Donate Stocks and Securities
Maximize the benefits to you and Seva Canada’s programs by directly donating securities. Your gift of appreciated securities will transform lives for those in need and can create tax savings for you.
Gifts of securities to a registered charity is one of the most tax effective ways to give. You can benefit from a donation tax credit and the elimination of the capital gains tax that you would pay if you sold the same shares and donated the proceeds. Your estate can also see these same benefits if you choose to leave a gift of securities in your Will.
Listed securities include stocks, bonds, mutual funds and futures traded on approved stock exchanges in Canada, and major international exchanges. Most securities are held electronically and can be easily transferred to Seva Canada. Upon request, this can be arranged by your Financial Advisor.
By donating appreciated securities, you will receive a tax receipt for the full market value of the securities and you will have the satisfaction of knowing you are helping to restore sight and prevent blindness.
