Gifts of Securities

A gift of publicly-traded securities, such as stocks, bonds or mutual fund units is a wonderful way to make a gift to the Moose Jaw Health Foundation.

If you own publicly-traded securities and you decide to sell them, 50 per cent of the capital gain is taxable. However, if you donate these securities "as is" by transferring them to the Foundation, you will not pay any tax on the capital gain. 

Securities are equally effective when given today or in the future through a bequest in your will.
