Donate Stocks

Once a gift of securities is transferred into our account, we sell the shares immediately. The process should take no more than two days. With the information from the completed Gift of Securities form that you or your broker has provided to us, we will contact you by phone or email to confirm the transaction. We will send your printed charitable tax receipt by mail.

L’Arche Calgary will accept donations of publicly traded securities.

When you sell shares that you own, you will pay tax on 50% of the capital gain. When you make a charitable donation of shares to  L’Arche Calgary, the taxable capital gain is completely eliminated. You will also receive a charitable tax receipt for the full market value of the shares on the day of transfer to  L’Arche Calgary.

Information regarding securities and tax receipting can also be found on this website.
