Gifts of Securities

Did you know that when you donate shares directly to the Lung Health Foundation, we not only receive a higher donation, but you also receive an official tax receipt showing a larger contribution without increased the costs? 

Canada has among the most generous tax incentives for charitable giving in the world. Capital gains tax is not applied to donations of appreciated publicly traded securities. This added incentive reduces the real cost of your charitable giving. 

Gifts of securities are an increasingly impactful way to support the Lung Health Foundation and the work we do to improve the lung health of Canadians. Your receipt will reflect fair market value, the amount of the closing trading price on the day we receive the shares. Our policy is to sell all securities donated as soon as we receive them.
