EXAMPLE:

STANDARD DONATING: Susan purchased shares in ABC Co. Ltd. in 2003 for $5000. Today the shares have a fair market value of $10,000. If Susan sells the shares (assuming she is in a 32% tax bracket) she would pay taxes of $800, enabling her to make a cash donation of $9,200 and a reduction of income taxes owing of $4550.

ENHANCED DONATING: If Susan gives the stocks directly to Home of Hope, they receive a donation of $10,000 and Susan has a donation receipt for $10,000 resulting in a reduction in taxes owing of $4950. Also, she is not charged with any Capital Gains.

1b. Real Estate

ALSO, now if you donate a portion of the proceeds of the sale of real estate to a registered charity within 30 days of the sale, there is a 0% inclusion rate on the amount donated (No Capital gains on that portion) but you still get the full donation credit.

 

2. Honour & Memorial Giving

We never forget the special people who've touched our hearts and made a difference in our lives.
By making a gift to honour someone important to you or to preserve the memory of a loved one who has passed away, you, too, will be making a difference - in the lives of children around the world. Each donation over $15 is tax-deductible.

 

3. Consider adding Home of Hope to your Will

This is a great idea, but it is important that you talk to your lawyer, broker or financial advisor before doing this. According to this article, life insurance can be a sensible way to make a valuable legacy gift and you could donate a portion of your life insurance.

  • If you name a charity as an irrevocable beneficiary, the premiums give you a tax credit now.
  • The charity benefits when the person passes away by receiving the death benefit.
  • The portion % desired to be donated can go straight from the insurance company to the charity and avoid Capital Gains and taxes.
**Before making a standard donation to Home of Hope, we recommend that you consider the amazing benefits of giving from an investment account instead.**
