Giving a Donation of Shares - made easy!
Gifts of securities are the most tax-effective way to donate, providing tax benefits while helping the animals of our community. Gifts of appreciated assets, such as securities, are very popular and may provide you with even greater tax benefits than charitable gifts made in cash.
How it works:
- You or your broker will complete the Donation of Securities form located on this page. As an option to donors, you can opt for your donation of securities to be directed towards 2 different areas. Please select the correct Donation of Securities form for where you would like to direct your donation: (the form will download to your computer)
Operations - day to day general operational and animal care costs of the shelter.- Capital Campaign - contribute towards the building of the new Kingston Humane Society facility.
- Send the form to the Kingston Humane Society financial advisory team outlined on the Donation of Securities form and ensure Kingston Humane Society receives a copy (or notify Kingston Humane Society to expect the Donation of Securities form from your broker) at office@kingstonhumanesociety.ca.
- Authorize your broker to transfer the securities into the noted account on the Donation of Shares form.
- Once the shares have been received, a tax receipt and letter of acknowledgement will be issued at the market value on the date of the transfer. A Kingston Humane Society team member may also contact you directly to thank you, and gather any final information needed.
*Please speak directly to your broker/financial advisor about the specific tax benefits of donating shares. Any general questions about the process, can be directed to office@kingstonhumanesociety.ca
