Donating public stocks and securities provides donors with significant tax advantages. This includes receiving a charitable tax receipt for the fair market value of the donated security and eliminating taxable capital gains. Excess credit may be carried forward for up to five years if your donation exceeds the amount eligible for a tax credit in the year your donation is made and, if you leave shares, stocks, and securities to the Gallery through your will, your estate will receive the same tax benefits. Donations can also be made online through CanadaHelps by clicking the link below.
