Invest in sustaining healthcare on our island and watch your donation pay dividends in the health of our community. When you donate securities, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, to the Lady Minto Hospital Foundation, you’re directly supporting quality healthcare on Salt Spring Island.

Why donate securities?

• 100% tax-deductible: Your donation will reduce your taxable income.
• No capital gains tax: You won’t have to pay any tax on the capital gains when donating securities.
• Make a real impact: Your gift helps provide critical resources for local health services.

Many of our donors are now taking advantage of tax incentives introduced in May 2006 for donating publicly traded securities to registered charities. If you have shares in your portfolio that would generate a substantial taxable gain if sold, consider donating them instead. You’ll receive a tax receipt for the full market value of the shares, with no tax to pay on the sale of those shares.
