Gifts of Securities

When you donate stocks, mutual funds, and other securities to a registered charity, you pay no capital gains tax and receive a tax receipt for the full amount of the gift.

Thank you very much for your generosity.


“I support Catholic charities, such as my parish, ShareLife, and St. Augustine's Seminary. I do so thanks to God's love and care for me and for my family.

For making any significant donation, I will choose to donate securities. I pay no capital gains tax on the appreciated value (increased price) of my securities. Donating securities directly avoids the tax on capital gains. This will maximize the return on my investment (donations) and protects the tax credits for use against other taxable income.

I am glad to know that my contribution will turn into a powerful way of nurturing future priests who will, in turn, support us in the Church.“
