Gifts of Securities – A Smart and Impactful Way to Give

Donating publicly traded securities is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support the SAiF Society. By transferring stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other marketable securities directly to our organization, you can make a meaningful impact while maximizing financial benefits for yourself.

Why Donate Securities?

Gifting securities allows you to contribute to the SAiF Society while taking advantage of significant tax savings:

Eliminate Capital Gains Tax – Normally, when you sell securities at a profit, 50% of the capital gain is subject to taxation. However, when you donate securities directly to a registered charity, the entire capital gain is exempt from tax—allowing you to give more while saving more.

Receive a Charitable Tax Receipt – You will receive a donation receipt for the full fair market value of your gifted securities, which can be used to reduce your taxable income.

Make a Bigger Impact – By donating appreciated securities, your gift may be larger than if you were to sell the investments first and donate the after-tax cash proceeds.

How to Donate Securities

Make an impact today – the process is simple and can be completed in just a few steps. Complete the Transfer Form to get started. Once the transfer is complete, you will receive a charitable tax receipt for the full market value of your gift, based on the closing trading price on the date of transfer.
