Leadership Giving & Securities

Leadership Giving

You can help empower through shelter. At Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region, we can work with you to determine how you might structure your gift and work with you to ensure it delivers the impact you want it to.

Your investment can help provide a strong foundation for a family, an opportunity on which they can build a better life. Strong and stable homes help build strong and stable communities.

Gifts of Securities

By donating publicly traded securities, you can avoid the capital gains tax that you would have to pay if you sold the securities and then donated the proceeds. Habitat for Humanity can issue a charitable tax receipt for your donation of securities. Securities can include stocks, mutual funds, segregated funds, bonds, flow-through shares and employee stock options. You can give now or as part of your estate and will planning.

Consult your financial advisor to decide which securities make the most sense for you to donate. Then ask your broker to transfer your securities to Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region. Finally, get in touch and let us know you have made your gift so that we can show our appreciation to you.
