Gifting Securities
Donations of publicly listed securities are a great way to make a difference for the environment. As announced in the 2006 federal budget, donations of publicly listed securities (i.e. shares, bonds or mutual funds) to a registered public charity like Ecojustice are now fully exempt from capital gains tax and donors would receive a charitable receipt for the full market value of the donated securities.

These new regulations make it easier and more affordable for you to make a substantial gift for the health of the environment. It also allows you the rare opportunity to watch your investment blossom in the years to come as we take on, and win, new cases for the natural world.
