GIFTS OF PUBLICLY TRADED SECURITIES
It’s easy to make a gift of publicly traded securities, mutual funds or stocks. A gift of this nature offers both you and the charity immediate benefits.
BENEFITS OF MAKING A GIFT OF PUBLICLY TRADED SECURITIES:
- Tax advantages:
- By transferring your securities directly to Canadian Spondylitis Association, you eliminate the capital gains tax
- You receive a charitable tax receipt for the fair market value of the stock upon transfer
- If your donation exceeds the amount eligible for a tax credit in the year your gift is made, the excess credit may be carried forward for up to five years
- Reduce taxes to your estate: If you leave publicly traded securities to CSA through your will, your taxable capital gain may be eliminated and your estate many claim a tax credit of up to 100% of your net annual income in the year of death and the year preceding
- The spondyloarthritis community receives immediate benefits from your generosity.
