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.
