Gifts of Stock and Appreciated Securities
Donating publicly traded stock and securities provides a tax-efficient way of supporting the C.D. Howe Institute. Donors will receive a tax receipt for the appreciated value of their gift, without generating a taxable capital gain. Gifts of stock and securities provide benefits to the donor. For example, the standard capital gain inclusion rate of 50 percent on selling appreciated stocks is avoided when shares are gifted to the C.D. Howe Institute as opposed to selling and donating the proceeds. Also, the capital gains taxable inclusion rate for a gift of appreciated capital property is 25 percent. A five-year carry forward on unused donation amounts is permitted.
Planned Giving
Gifts made as part of your overall financial plan are known as “planned gifts.” These can include: Bequests, Charitable Gift Annuities, Life Insurance, Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) or Gift of Residual Interest (GRI).

Howe Institute accepts donations from individuals, private and public organizations, charitable foundations and others by way of general and project support. The Institute does not accept any donation that inhibits its independence or that of its staff and authors to pursue scholarly activities and disseminate the results of research. Further, the Institute will not accept any financial contribution that stipulates a predetermined result or policy stance.
