Gifts of Securities

Make your gift today

Gift of securities can be an attractive, tax efficient way to support Canada's precious habitat and wild spaces.

By transferring shares, bonds, or mutual funds to the Canadian Wildlife Federation, you have the potential to avoid significant capital gains tax and receive a charitable tax receipt based on the asset’s fair market value of your donation. This will often make it significantly more advantageous than just donating cash after the sale of securities.

Please note: This information is for general purposes only. Everyone’s tax situation is different and therefore it is always recommended that you speak to your financial advisor and/or tax consultant before making any decisions.
