Donate shares
Do you own any shares, mutual funds, bonds and/or any other securities that you would like to donate to Scleroderma Manitoba?
- You will benefit from a tax deduction for the full amount of your charitable gift.
- In addition, you will not need to pay capital gains taxes on appreciated securities.
- As a result, you will be able to make a more significant gift at a similar cost.
A gift of securities allows you to pay no tax on the taxable portion of your capital gains. In order to benefit from this tax credit, the securities must be transferred directly to Scleroderma Manitoba rather than being sold. It’s a tax advantage that will benefit you.
A receipt for tax purposes will be issued, corresponding to 100% of the fair market value of the securities on the day they are transferred to the account of Scleroderma Manitoba.
Scleroderma Manitoba’s policy is to sell donated securities as soon as possible after receipt.
