Leadership Giving

This program recognizes the vital importance of personal giving. Increasing your support to $1,000 or more will go even further to help people in real need.

Leadership donors are recognized each year in our Honour Roll. Tax benefits, of course, make it easier to be generous.

Making a Gift of Securities

Donations of publicly listed securities to United Way are exempt from all capital gains taxation.

By donating publicly traded shares to United Way, you will not pay the capital gains tax normally associated with such a sale. This means that you receive a tax receipt for the full value of the shares but are NOT taxed on any gain. Donors of securities therefore do not need to take any capital gain into income.

Your charitable receipt will reflect the closing price of the shares on the date they are received in United Way’s brokerage account.

Note: Actual shares must be transferred to United Way. If shares are sold and then the proceeds donated to United Way, the enhanced tax benefits do not apply.
