Donating publicly traded securities (shares or mutual funds) to BCCLA offers you a tax-smart way of making a gift.
When you transfer the securities in-kind to BCCLA:
- Your donation is exempt from capital gains tax
- You will receive a charitable receipt for the full market value of the donated security.
If you are interested in donating securities to BCCLA, please initiate the donation with your broker and forward a completed and signed copy of our Securities Donation Request Form to your Investment Advisor/brokerage institution. Your Investment Advisor/brokerage institution will arrange for the electronic transfer of shares to the BCCLA’s broker.
For more information about donating securities, please contact us at [email protected] or 604-630-9757.
