Lower taxes for you and greater impact for the arts.
Did you know there’s a way to support us that really benefits you?
If you own stocks that have appreciated, donating them directly to the CCOV is much more advantageous than selling them first. When you sell your shares, you realise a taxable capital gain—part of the value goes toward taxes before it even reaches our organisation. By transferring the shares directly, this gain is entirely tax-free. You receive a tax receipt for the full market value, and we receive the full benefit of your gift.
How does it work?
It’s simpler than you might think. Just contact us, and we’ll guide you step by step. You then ask your broker to transfer the shares directly to the CCOV—without selling them—and we’ll issue you a tax receipt for the full value upon receipt.
Your financial advisor can also help you assess what this means for your specific situation.
