Avoid paying tax on capital gains.

When you donate securities directly to the McEwen Centre through the Toronto General & Western Hospital Foundation, instead of selling them first, you can avoid paying tax on capital gains. It’s an ideal way to support leading-edge research, save money, and maximize your donation.

Interested in making a gift of securities? Here’s what you need to do:

Complete the “Letter of Authorization” form

It will help your broker initiate the electronic transfer of securities. If you have any questions about completing the form, please call 416.340.3935 or email foundation@uhn.on.ca
