Donating Publicly Traded Securities
Did you know that donating publicly traded securities is one of the most generous and tax-effective ways to support your parish or ministry of choice in the Diocese of New Westminster?
When you give stocks, bonds, or mutual funds directly to a charitable organization, you do not pay capital gains tax on any appreciated value. This means your generosity stretches further, empowering the ministries and people you care about, while you receive a larger charitable tax receipt.
Your gift fuels our mission to grow communities of faith in Jesus Christ and to carry out God’s mission in the world — through worship, compassionate service, and meaningful outreach.
Tax rules vary, so we encourage you to consult a tax professional to understand how this giving option works for your circumstances.
“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”
— Hebrews 13:16
