Your charitable gift is a critical way to support the C.D. Howe Institute’s highest priorities in its key areas of focus: fiscal and monetary policy, international policy, economic growth and entrepreneurship, social policy and government and public institutions.

Toronto, ON M5E 1J8‏

Credit Card

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.

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).
