Donate Securities and Mutual Funds
A smarter way to give – with even greater impact.
Donating publicly traded securities or mutual funds is one of the most tax-effective ways to support True North Society.
When you give securities directly, you eliminate the capital gains tax you would pay if you sold the securities yourself, and you still receive a charitable tax receipt for the full fair market value.
That means your gift goes further, helping more individuals and families find safety, healing, and hope.
How it Works
We partner with CanadaHelps to make securities donations secure, simple, and stress-free.
Here’s how:
-
- Visit the CanadaHelps Securities Page: Start Your Securities Donation (or scroll below).
- Complete the Online Securities Form: Indicate True North Society as your chosen charity.
- Transfer Your Securities: CanadaHelps provides you with the transfer instructions to send your securities directly from your brokerage account.
- Sale and Gift: Once your securities are received, CanadaHelps immediately sells them and sends the proceeds to True North Society.
- Tax Receipt: You receive a charitable tax receipt for the closing price of the security on the date of donation (the day they are received by CanadaHelps).
