To give a gift of securities, please use this share transfer form and contact us for more information about the process. When you give a gift of securities, not only does our community benefit from the donation of publicly traded securities in kind (e.g. Canadian stocks, bonds and mutual funds) but you’ll receive both a tax exemption (related to the capital gain) and a charitable tax receipt.
You can donate a specific amount, appreciated securities, the proceeds of life insurance or an RRSP/RRIF, real estate, a percentage of your estate or your estate in its entirety – gaining tax benefits and establishing your legacy in our community. Find out about some of our donors who’ve left a gift to London Community Foundation in their will.
