Make a Gift of Securities
Make an Even Bigger Impact With One of the Most Tax-Effective Ways to Give
Gifts of publicly traded securities are one of the most powerful ways you can support PALS Adult Services Society. When you donate stocks, bonds, ETFs, or mutual fund units “in kind” (without selling them first), you may eliminate capital gains tax and receive a charitable tax receipt for the full fair-market value—allowing you to give more, at a lower net cost.
Your gift helps neurodiverse adults build meaningful lives through skills development, employment training, independent housing, and lifelong learning opportunities.
Why Donate Securities?
Donating securities directly is often more tax-efficient than giving cash. When you donate investments that have increased in value:
You do not pay capital gains tax on the appreciated portion.
You receive a charitable tax receipt for the full market value on the date PALS receives the securities.
Your investment can make a greater impact, helping provide inclusive programs and individualized supports for neurodiverse adults.
Many donors choose this option for year-end tax planning, estate planning, or when rebalancing their investment portfolio.
