Have a large gain on some stocks? Want to donate to your favourite charity? Combine the 2 benefits.
You can donate the shares directly, and have the ability to waive the capital gain, and get your Charitable Donation tax credit.
Making a difference with Charitable Donations
Every year I donate to charities. I donate both time and money, and it's an important part of my contribution to my community, and my country. It's also a great way to meet some incredible people.
As many of my clients feel very passionate about giving back, I wanted to remind each of you that it's so easy to give, and it's a great way to reduce your taxable income. If you donate a non-registered investment, you can get the charitable tax credit, but also have the capital gain waived completely. Now that's a win-win in my books. Let us help you find a way to give back.
Mackenzie Charitable Foundation is celebrating its 10 year anniversary. It provides an option to Canadians set up their own Foundation with as little as $25,000 you can make a difference for a lifetime.
Also, please refer to my article on Charitable Giving for more details.
