Gift Of Securities
The Brockville & District Hospital Foundation gratefully accepts gifts of securities, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.
This method of giving offers significant advantages for both the donor and the hospital. For the donor, contributing securities directly can provide a greater tax benefit than donating cash, as the steep capital gains tax is not applicable on donated securities.
This allows donors to give more efficiently, maximizing the impact of their contribution without incurring additional tax costs. For the hospital, receiving gifts of securities directly supports its critical projects and programs, enhancing the hospital’s capacity to provide top-notch medical care and services.
Such contributions are vital for sustaining and expanding the hospital’s capabilities, ensuring that the community continues to receive the highest standard of healthcare. Gifts of flow-through shares are another tax-smart option and provide additional tax benefits.
To learn more about how you can donate your publicly-traded securities, please email our Director of Fund Development, Christine Radford, at cradford@brockvillegeneralhospital.ca.
