Donating Shares
Donating shares to a charitable non-profit organization such as PDAC Mining
Matters may be of particular interest to those in the mining industry, due to
the considerable potential tax benefits.
The elimination of capital gains on stocks, bonds, and mutual funds means that
your contribution to PDAC Mining Matters will result in a tax receipt equal to
the fair market value of your gift. Rather than being subject to the 50 per cent
capital gains tax payable on shares sold during your lifetime, accrued capital
gains on donated shares are exempt from taxes. You’ll be able to use the entire
amount of your tax credit against other sources of income. In effect, the tax
benefit arising from your gift is the same as if the donated securities were
cash.
The donation of flow through shares can produce even greater benefit, as a
deduction is offered at the time of purchase and a tax credit is generated when
the shares are gifted.
To learn more about donating securities, including flow through shares, please
contact Edward Thompson at 416-366-6083 or
egt@interlog.com, or Durham Sims, PDAC Mining Matters’ Investment Advisor at
RBC Dominion Securities at 416-842-3086, 800-561-4468 or
durham.sims@rbc.com. Both Mr. Thompson
and Mr. Sims serve the organization in a volunteer capacity.
Legacy Giving: An Investment in the Future
Consider leaving a legacy of support for PDAC Mining Matters. By planning a
gift, such as a bequest or life insurance, you can achieve your financial,
philanthropic, and estate planning goals. You’ll give substance to your values
and make a grand gesture of generosity that lasts beyond your lifetime.
A gift to PDAC Mining Matters would provide lasting benefits through our
programs to educate students, teachers, and the general public about Canada’s
geology and mineral resource endowment, and promote awareness of the importance
of rocks, metals, minerals, and mining. A planned gift may enable you to make a
more significant gift than you thought possible. Through legacy giving, you can
-
Reduce your taxable estate by
the value of your bequest
-
Distribute your assets
according to your wishes
-
Leave a legacy for tomorrow
without giving up assets today
Please remember PDAC Mining Matters and the important work that we do. To
inquire further about leaving a legacy of support, contact Laura Clinton at
