Benefits to You – Why Give Mutual Funds

If you own publicly traded securities, mutual funds, or flow through shares, you may want to consider donating the securities or mutual funds directly to CNIB. Canadians can donate their publicly traded securities or mutual funds without incurring the Capital gain tax. Capital gains on donated shares are not taxed. This may provide a greater benefit to you than donating cash.

Benefits of the Gift of Mutual Funds

Making a Gift of Mutual Funds to CNIB accomplishes three things:
  1. You support Canadians living with vision loss through the work of CNIB, providing vision rehabilitation services, research, blindness prevention and public education.
  2. You receive a charitable tax receipt to offset income.
  3. You pay no capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the securities.
