Imagine Canada releases
Guide to Giving
Answers questions many donors have about giving to charity.
Imagine Canada released its first
Guide to Giving to answer some of the questions
Canadians may have when deciding where to allocate their
charitable gifts.
“Canadians need access to good information about Canada’s
charities, especially at this time of the year when our
thoughts turn to collective goodwill and when several
charities are in the midst of holiday giving campaigns. It
is our hope that this Guide to Giving will help Canadians
make their donation decisions,” says
Marcel Lauzière, President & CEO of Imagine
Canada.
The
Guide to Giving is a free four page
guide produced by Imagine Canada’s
Ethical Code Program. The
350 plus charities that belong to the Ethical Code are
committed to transparency and ethical fundraising. The
Guide to Giving addresses some of the
most common questions put forward by Canadian donors.
The
Guide to Giving may be accessed online
as a downloadable PDF by visiting the Imagine Canada website
at

Information about Capital
Gains:
With the elimination of capital gains on
donations of publically traded securities, gifts of securities are now the
most tax efficient way to make a charitable donation ... and a great way for
donors to make a greater impact with their gift.
It’s easy – both for
donors and for charities. Once a donor has completed the online process and
the shares have been sold, the donor receives their tax receipt and Family
Centre receives the funds. It’s just that simple. To find out more about
how it works, visit
