Stocks and other securities

The May 2006 federal budget eliminates capital gains tax on donations of publicly listed securities to charities. Such securities include:

• Stocks
• Bonds
• Futures
• Mutual funds

TRAS will sell the securities on the date received and issue a charitable tax receipt for the amount raised. For more information, please contact the TRAS office.

You can also donate securities to TRAS through CanadaHelps. There's a good explanation of the tax benefits of donating securities on the CanadaHelps site.
