Donating stock or other marketable securities to ALS Canada provides significant philanthropic impact to further ALS research, advocacy, and supportive services that we provide to people living with ALS and their families every day.
When you make a gift of publicly traded securities, your taxable capital gain is eliminated. In contrast, if you choose to sell appreciated securities during your lifetime, or if these assets are liquidated through your estate, tax must be paid on 50% of the capital gains on those securities. Donating securities to a registered charity like ALS Canada provides an opportunity for individuals to give in a tax-efficient way.
