Dedicated Asset Giving Options
Publicly Traded Securities
A gift of publicly traded securities is the transfer of ownership of stocks, bonds or mutual funds to Centre Wellington Community Foundation. Did you know that if you own shares that have increased in value, the capital gains are taxable. However, if you donate these shares in-kind to Centre Wellington Community Foundation, the entire gain is tax-exempt. Email info@cwcfoundation.ca for details.
RRSPs, RRIFs and TFSAs
Name Centre Wellington Community Foundation as the beneficiary of your Registered Retirement Savings Plan, Registered Retirement Income Fund or Tax-Free Savings Account and make a significant donation, while saving your Estate from paying probate tax on the proceeds.
Gifts in your will
A well prepared, up-to-date Will is important so that you can make your final wishes known. A charitable bequest in your Will can provide a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your Estate, or a gift of the residue, which consists of whatever remains in your Estate after gifts to your loved ones and all expenses have been paid. Centre Wellington Community Foundation will provide an official receipt for income tax purposes to your estate when it receives the bequest.
Here is some sample wording for a general gift to Centre Wellington Community Foundation:
“I give Centre Wellington Community Foundation (Charitable Number: 89481 8103 RR0001) the sum of $ __________ or __________% or the residue of my estate.” *
