Gifts of Securities, Stocks, Crypto
Gift of securities, stocks, and crypto currency give you the best tax benefits while helping United Way Guelph Wellington Dufferin. Make an impact today.
Save On Your Income Taxes & Benefit Your Community
When you donate securities, stocks, or crypto currency, you will benefit on your income taxes as capital gains taxes don’t apply.
Any capital gains on your appreciated securities that are donated to charity are eliminated and you will receive a tax receipt equal to the value of appreciated securities.
Reducing your tax burden while making a significant difference in your local community makes for an ideal giving scenario.
