To make an Impact with a Gift of Securities:

Why Donate Securities?

Gift of Securities – Impact Ministries

Why Donating Shares Directly Can Multiply Your Impact

To see how powerful a gift of appreciated securities can be, let’s look at an example.

Imagine you would like to donate 200 shares of Apple Inc. that you purchased in 2010 for about $10 per share (a total original cost of $2,000). Today, those shares are worth about $375 each, meaning your investment has grown to $75,000.

Option 1: Sell the Shares First, Then Donate the Cash

If you sell the shares:

  • Current value: $75,000
  • Original cost: $2,000
  • Capital gain: $73,000
  • Taxable portion (50%): $36,500
  • Tax at 40% bracket: $14,600

After paying tax, you would have $60,400 left to donate. Your charitable donation of $60,400 would generate approximately $30,000 in donation tax credits.

If you choose to donate those tax savings as well, your total gift becomes:

$90,400 (a wonderful blessing!)

Option 2: Donate the Shares Directly (“In-Kind”)

If instead you donate the shares directly to Impact Ministries Canada:

  • Impact Ministries receives: the full $75,000 value of the shares
  • Capital gains tax: none payable by you on the donated securities
  • Charitable tax receipt: issued for $75,000

Your donation tax credit on $75,000 reduces your tax bill by roughly $37,000. If you also donate those tax savings, your total gift becomes:

$112,000 (an even greater blessing!)

Your Impact: 24% More to Ministry

By donating the shares directly, Impact Ministries receives $21,600 more— a 24% increase compared to selling the shares first.

This simple change in how you give allows your generosity to go further—supporting more students, feeding more children, and expanding ministry in ways that would not be possible otherwise.

Leave a Legacy

Adding Impact Ministries to your will is a meaningful way to leave a legacy and support a cause you care about. It’s simple to set up, and can make a lasting impact for years to come.

To leave a bequest, simply add Impact Ministries to your will

Your lawyer or notary can add wording to your will, specifying:

  1. Full Legal Name of Charity: Impact Ministries Canada
  2. Charitable Registration Number: 89107 0625 RR0002
  3. The amount you would like to donate:
    • A specific amount
    • A percentage of your estate, or
    • The remainder of your estate after other gifts

Your estate will contact us later

The gift does not happen now. After your lifetime, your executor will:

  • Inform Impact Ministries of your gift
  • Share the relevant part of your will
  • Arrange the transfer of your bequest

Once the estate settles taxes and expenses, Impact Ministries receives your bequest. It may come as a cheque, a transfer of securities, or a percentage or the remainder of your estate.

Impact Ministries will issue a donation receipt to your estate, which can help reduce taxes owing on your final return.
