Donate Securities & Stocks
If you hold stocks, mutual funds, bonds or other publicly traded securities that have grown in value, donating them directly to the New Brunswick SPCA may be the most tax-efficient gift you can make.
It’s a win for the animals — and a win for you!
Why Give Securities Instead of Cash?
When you sell appreciated securities and donate the proceeds, you pay capital gains tax on the growth — then donate what’s left. When you donate the securities directly, that capital gains tax disappears entirely.
The result: more of your investment’s value goes toward helping animals.
A tax receipt for the full fair market value of your securities on the date of transfer will be issued to you, which can be used to reduce the tax you pay on your income.
What Qualifies
Most publicly traded securities are eligible, including:
