More Information:
Selling securities from a highly appreciated portfolio could subject you to significant capital gains tax. However, by donating these securities directly to VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation, you avoid these taxes, and the combined savings can be impressive.
Gifts of securities can be made during your lifetime or bequeathed in your will, reducing the tax burden on your estate. The process is simple: most securities are held electronically and can be transferred from your brokerage account to the Foundation’s account, after which you will receive a charitable tax receipt.
This information is not intended as legal or financial advice. We encourage you to consult a qualified Financial Advisor.
