Publicly Traded Securities

Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds – these investments, accumulated over the years, may have grown significantly in value.  When you sell these investments, a considerable capital gains tax may result if the current selling price is higher than their original cost.

Canadians who donate publicly traded securities to a registered charity pay no capital gains tax on the appreciated value of these securities.

By donating publicly traded securities to Lions Gate Hospital Foundation, you will receive significant tax benefits:

  • You will pay no capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the shares.
  • You will receive a tax receipt for the full market value of the donated securities. 

In addition, you can direct the proceeds from the donated securities to a department in the Hospital or other facility (see list on home page) in North Shore health care.
