The Museum also accepts gift of securities; including, but not limited to stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and employee stock options. A gift of publicly traded securities means you eliminate the capital gains tax that you would have to pay if you sold the securities and then donated the proceeds. Plus, you will receive a tax receipt for 100% of your donation. Information about benefits to you and the Museum (the Charity) available here.

To donate securities, please consult your financial advisor for the relevant forms and to discuss which investments make the most financial and philanthropic impact, then let us know so we can show our appreciation!

It’s an investment you make in an organisation you believe in, and we will work with you to ensure your gift has the greatest impact. Plus, not only do you have the satisfaction of directing your support to an organisation you believe in, you also reduce the amount you pay in taxes on your estate.
