GIFTS OF ELIGIBLE SECURITIES
More and more donors have investment portfolios from which they may desire to donate in-kind gifts of securities. This can be an attractive option for the donor because of the special enhanced tax benefit of such a donation - i.e. no capital gains tax.
As a longtime member of the Canadian Centre for Christian Charities (CCCC), our church has access to the CCCC Community Trust Fund (CTF). This fund has been in operation for over 30 years, and it provides charities with the ability to receive gifts of securities from donors, even though we do not have a brokerage account. For a modest facilitation fee, CTF receives the securities; issues the official receipt for tax purposes to the donor; liquidates the securities; and will send our church the cash proceeds. Part of the process will be to identify our church to the CTF via our Business Number, which is 106788490RR0001. CTF can also assist wth Estate Planning.
Donors who want to explore this giving option can visit the CCCC CTF Donor section at www.cccc.org/ctf
