Donate Securities
Donating securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. Since capital gains taxes don’t apply, our charity receives the full fair market value when the security is sold, and you get a tax receipt which reflects your larger contribution. This allows you to give more and get more.
CanadaHelps, our trusted partner, will process the donation of your security on our behalf.
With your donation, we can help many talented young women, access the best education possible and realize their potential. We believe that investing in young women’s education is the key to long-lasting peace and better future for all of us.
