Gifts of Stock and Appreciated Securities

Thanks to recent legislation Canadians now enjoy the same benefits that Americans have had in being able to give appreciated securities and receive very generous tax benefits.

While cash donations receive a receipt for the full amount of the gift, securities offer an additional advantage now. Not only will donors receive a receipt for the full current value of their appreciated securities, but now they will be exempt from capital gains taxes on the amount of the appreciation. This can be a significant advantage over a direct donation of cash.

To make a gift of securities please contact David Hutchison directly at 250-743-6236.

Employer Matching Gifts

Many companies will match your gift as an employee, a spouse, retiree or director. You may be able to double your gift to Shawnigan. You can check with your company's Human Resources department to see if they match gifts, and obtain a matching gift form to mail in with your gift.

Gifts in-kind

Special gifts-in-kind may be considered on an individual basis. The gift must provide value to one of the School’s programs.

Tax receipts can currently only be provided for Canadian Gifts. For gifts of value more than $1000 an independent third-party appraisal must be provided from a qualified professional.

For more information please contact David Hutchison directly at 250-743-6236.
