Giving a gift of securities is a great way for you to support King’s. There are advantages for you and for King’s—here’s why:
Were you to sell shares and donate the cash proceeds to King’s, you would have to pay a capital gains tax; but when you donate your shares directly to King’s, the capital gains tax is eliminated. This means two things: 1) King’s will end up with a larger gift, and 2) you will end up with a larger tax credit.
A gift of securities may be made during your lifetime or as a gift in your will, achieving the same tax benefits. Use our securities letter of direction form [PDF] to talk with your financial planner about making a gift of securities to King’s today.
Should you have any questions or require additional information about making a gift of securities, contact Adriane Abbott at adriane.abbott@ukings.ca | (902) 422-1271.
As the popularity of donor-advised funds (DAF) rises, people are giving to King’s through their DAFs. This is a fund established within a foundation or operating charity – a form of charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a donor-advised fund, you are eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth, and you can recommend grants to any eligible charity. DAFs can be opened by an individual, a family, a group of unrelated people, a partnership, corporation, or association.
Notifying us of your intention to give via your DAF will ensure your support is acknowledged and recognized, just like donors who give any other way.
Should you have any questions or require additional information about your DAF gift, contact Adriane Abbott at adriane.abbott@ukings.ca | (902) 422-1271.
If you reside in the U.S. and would like to support King’s, you can make a gift through our US Foundation.
