Stock Donations - Sunnybrook Foundation

Donating shares
to Sunnybrook
can reduce the cost
of your gift.

Stock Donation

When you donate stock to Sunnybrook, you avoid paying tax on your capital gains. So, the gift costs you less than if you were to sell your stocks in order to give cash; and Sunnybrook still receives the full amount of the donation.

For example, if you were to sell shares that you own to give Sunnybrook a cash donation, you would receive a donation tax credit but you'd be required to pay tax on your capital gains (you will be taxed on half of the gain, at a maximum rate of 45 per cent). If you were to donate the shares directly to Sunnybrook, you would receive the same tax credit for the value of the shares, but wouldn't pay any tax on the transaction.

Seek the advice of your financial planner or investment advisor to determine the best option for you. 

Through the gift of stock, you can help Sunnybrook be here for patients and their families when it matters most.
