How do donations of securities work on CanadaHelps?
Like all other donations, CanadaHelps accepts donations of securities online. Donors first enter their pledge on CanadaHelps.org, including how many securities they’re donating, which charities they’re donating to and personal information for tax receipting. Once complete, the donor should print out the direction letter and work with their broker to transfer the securities to CanadaHelps. CanadaHelps receives the shares into our brokerage account, sells them and then transfers the proceeds of the sale (less 3%) to your organization.
