Making a gift of stocks and securities recognized by the Canadian stock exchange is a simple and tax-smart way to help people affected by food insecurity in this country. Through your donation, you’ll be leaving a lasting impact, while also potentially increasing your annual tax return. Once your gift is received, we will issue you a charitable tax receipt based on the full market (resale) value of the shares at the end of the trading day. This would result in a non-refundable tax credit, which you could  use in the year of your gift — or carry forward for up to five years.

Before selecting this option, we recommend that you first seek advice from a tax professional to determine the method of giving that is the most tax-effective for you.
