Securities and Stock
Publicly traded securities include shares, such as stocks, income trust units, bonds, mutual fund units, bills, warrants and futures that are traded on Canadian and most foreign stock exchanges offer an advantage in making a major reduction to your taxable income. Donations of publicly traded securities to a registered charity are exempt of the capital gains tax. St. ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½’s Advancement staff would be pleased to provide step-by-step guidelines to assist you with your gift of publicly-listed securities.
If you are considering a gift to St. ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, we strongly recommend that you seek professional financial and legal advice that takes into account your unique situation. We also encourage you to discuss your gift with the Advancement Department prior to finalizing the details of your gift arrangement. Click here to make a donation of shares.
A planned gift is a charitable donation arranged during your lifetime, leaving some or all of your estate to St. ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ in the future. This gift can be made with a specific purpose in mind and tailored to suit your interests and preferences. Leaving a gift in your will won’t affect your current lifestyle, and, with careful financial planning, that gift can often be larger than might otherwise be possible. By making a planned gift to St ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, you can help our students reach their greatest potential. Your legacy gift is an investment in our future, and the confidence it represents inspires our best efforts. Click here to learn more.
Memorial Gifts
Memorial contributions are often a comforting way to pay tribute to the memory of a friend, associate, or loved one who has passed away. Making a contribution in honour of an individual is likewise an appropriate expression of appreciation. Contributions made in memory or in honour of individuals may be directed as you wish; to students through the establishment of an award, or to a specific department or program at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½. To learn more about making a tribute gift, please contact us.
Gifts or Property, Art and other In Kind
A gift-in-kind is a gift of tangible property that will prove valuable to the University. A gift-in-kind can include such things as property, special library collections, valuable artwork, equipment or instruments to support programs and historical documents of research interest to the University's faculty and students.
For gifts valued under $1,000, St. Thomas may issue an immediate tax receipt for the donation's fair market value. For larger gifts, special Canada Customs and Revenue Agency appraisal guidelines must be followed.
