An attractive, low-cost giving option
A gift of publicly-traded securities, such as stocks, bonds or mutual fund units is the least expensive way to make a gift to the Foundation.

The Federal Budget of May 2, 2006 has made this type of giving more attractive than ever before. If you own publicly-traded securities that have increased in value and you decide to sell them, 50 per cent of the capital gain is taxable. However, if you donate these securities "as is" to the Foundation, you will not pay any tax on the capital gain. The charitable tax credit you receive will offset tax on other income.

Other opportunities include shares in Canadian mining exploration companies.

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