Gift of Securities

Donating securities is a simple and tax-efficient way to create a lasting impact on children and families through World Vision Canada.

When you donate publicly traded securities, you can avoid capital gains tax while receiving a charitable receipt that can help reduce taxes owed on your income.

To receive a tax receipt for the current calendar year, the deadline to complete a gift of securities is December 31. However, because transfers take several days to process, we recommend three weeks before year-end to account for all holiday closures and processing delays.
