If you own publicly traded securities or mutual funds that have increased in value, you may want to consider donating the securities directly to the University of Regina. Such a gift can minimize the capital gains taxes you have to pay on those securities. A gift of RRSP, RRIF, mutual funds, or retirement plans may also be eligible for this capital gains benefit.
As with all gifts to the University of Regina, you can designate what you would like the proceeds of the sale of securities to support. Our Development Team would be happy to speak with you about available opportunities and provide you with more information about specific areas that may suit your interests.
A transfer of securities may result in considerable tax benefits that may be used to offset other taxable income. Please consult with your financial advisor on the benefits you may receive.
