making generosity simple
To help navigate this process we recommend working with Abundance Canada. With over 47 years experience, Abundance Canada will help you with every step. From how to instruct your broker, to selling the shares, providing the tax receipt and transferring the funds to UCB Canada.
WHY GIVE SECURITIES
When you donate securities you eliminate the capital gains tax that you’d have to pay if you sold the securities and then donated the proceeds. You will also receive a tax receipt for the full donation.
This means your donation costs you less but does so much more!
RESTRICTED GIVING POLICY
Spending of funds is confined to programs and projects approved by the organization. Should a donor choose to restrict a contribution for use in a particular program or project, we will honour that restriction, with the understanding that, when the need for such a program or project has been met, or cannot be completed for any reason as determined by the organization, the remaining restricted contributions will be used where most needed. Gifts are acknowledged and receipted with an official receipt for income tax purposes.
