Build a Legacy - Tax Free Giving

Gift and Estate Planning

SickKids Foundation is excited to report that in the budget released on May 2, 2006 the federal government announced that donations of publicly-traded securities are now exempt from capital gains tax.

This means that you can now make gifts of appreciated securities (stocks, mutual funds), receive the benefit of a tax receipt for the market value of the security, and not pay tax on any of the capital gain. The elimination of the capital gains tax on gifts of appreciated securities creates a significant tax advantage for those who support charities.

Without philanthropy, SickKids would not have earned the world-class reputation it continues to hold and many children would not have received the unique treatments needed to overcome the most complex conditions.
