YOU CAN DONATE SHARES!
There is a big advantage if you donate shares of a mutual fund or a stock to The Windsor Residence for Young Men. Canada Revenue Agency allows you to donate shares and not pay capital gains tax on the sale. You win two ways - you get the charitable donation credit and you also save the capital gains tax. You must donate the shares directly.​
​Here’s the advantage for a donation of $10,000:
Tax saved = $4,640 @ 46.4%
Tax saved = $1,160 on capital gain
Net cost = $4,200 to you
For example: for 1000 shares of "ABC Fund" with a current market value of $10.00 a share and an Adjusted Cost Base of $5.00 per share, the capital gain is $5,000. The 50% taxable capital gain is $2,500. Capital gains tax would be $1,160 (based on 46.4% tax rate). Your tax rate may be different. The charitable donation tax credit is 46.4% on any amounts above $200.

If you wish to donate shares online, our secure WRYM Canada Helps site makes it easy to directly donate shares and securities online. Just use the secure Donate Securities button to the right.
