CanadaHelps, our trusted partner, handles the process. Here’s how it works:

• Complete the online pledge form, providing details about your donation.
• Download the Letter of Direction (LOD) form provided at the end of your pledge.
• Send the completed LOD to your broker, authorizing the transfer of shares to CanadaHelps.
• CanadaHelps processes the transfer, sells the shares, and sends the proceeds to our charity.

If you use a Direct Investing platform, you may need to complete the Letter of Authorization/Direction form specific to your platform. The Letter of Direction provided at the end of your pledge contains all the information required to fill out their form. Ensure you use a new Letter of Direction and pledge form for each securities donation to avoid delays.

Why not?! Please reach us promptly via any of the channels indicated above!

Donating securities has additional benefits over cash donations:

• No capital gains taxes are applied, maximizing the value of your gift.
• You receive a tax receipt for the full fair market value of the securities.
• It’s a seamless process, as CanadaHelps handles the transfer, sale, and distribution to our charity, ensuring efficiency and transparency.
