CORPORATE DONATIONS

Being a good corporate citizen not only impacts the quality of life in the communities where you conduct business, but reinforces (or demonstrates) that you care about the health and well-being of the children and their families. 

STOCK DONATIONS

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds and mutual fund units is the most tax-effective way to make an outright gift during your lifetime. Not only do donors receive a tax credit for their gift but you also pay no capital gains tax. Stock donations represent a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Whether you donate cash or appreciated securities, you will receive a tax receipt that creates a tax credit. An extra tax incentive available for gifts of appreciated publicly listed securities makes stocks the least expensive way to give. Not only do Donors receive a tax credit for their gift but you also pay no capital gains tax.

Please contact Suzanne Jacobson at Suzanne@quickstartautism.ca if you have any questions.

BEQUESTS

Leaving a bequest in your will is one of the most financially responsible ways of making a donation to QuickStart Autism, as it allows you to arrange a gift to QuickStart Autism while maintaining your cash flow and future financial security.
