Donation Types
Certain donations, other than cash, can be considered gifts in kind. It is possible to issue a receipt for these gifts as long as the amount recorded is the fair market value of the item as of the date of the donation and as determined by a written valuation by someone knowledgeable in the field.
For more information on how receipts are issued for gifts in kind, please refer to the Canada Revenue Agency’s overview of gifts in kind. Please contact our Development Department by calling (604) 685-4049 ext 201 or email [email protected] before making your gift.
There have been important changes to the taxation of charitable gifts of securities. It is now even more tax-advantageous for you to make a gift of stock rather than cash and provides another way for you to invest in sports and recreational programs for individuals on the autism spectrum.
When you donate securities, you will receive a tax receipt for the fully appreciated value of the donation and will not pay any capital gains tax. Canucks Autism Network will receive a gift amount equaled to the sale value of the shares on the date of sale.
