For people who have much of their finances tied up in investments, securities are an ideal way to make a donation. You’ll receive a tax receipt for the market value at the time ACS receives the shares, defined by Revenue Canada as the closing price on the date the gift is made. A gift of securities has great tax benefits—especially if the shares have appreciated significantly. For more information on gifting securities contact Al Scholing at 604.850.5730 or email ascholing@abbotsfordchristian.com
