Securities

A donation of securities may include works of art and other precious objects, a residence, a commercial building, land, mortgages, shares of securities and mutual funds, bonds, royalties or copyrights.

If you sell a security, you pay tax on 50% of the capital gain. But, if you donate a gift of securities to United Way the taxable capital gain is completely eliminated AND you receive a tax receipt for the full market value of the security in the amount of the closing trading price on the day United Way receives the security. This multiplies the impact of the tax benefit of your charitable giving.

United Way invests in a balanced, diversified portfolio of programs and initiatives that address Saskatoon and surrounding area’s most pressing issues. A gift of securities will help ensure a stronger, safer, and more caring community where everyone has opportunities to reach their full potential. Please donate today.
