INTERNATIONAL FAMILY FARM EXCHANGE ASSOCIATION
Donation Form for Farmers Helping Farmers Farmers Helping Farmers relies on donations from individuals, corporations and community groups. The Canadian International Development Agency contributes three dollars for every dollar raised.
Donations are tax deductible.
Capital gains tax eliminated on gifts of stock In addition to gifts of cash, Canadians can make gifts of securities to Farmers Helping Farmers.
As of the May 2006 federal budget, capital gains tax is no longer applicable on gifts of listed securities donated to registered Canadian charities.
Now when you make a gift of publicly listed securities to Farmers Helping Farmers you can receive a tax receipt for the total value of the securities and you will not have to pay income tax on the realized capital gains.
Share donations we have received have been from investors who have donated securities which have appreciated significantly since their purchase; that is, a significant amount of their sale value is from capital gains compared to the original purchase price. The easiest way to make a gift of stock or securities is to have the shares electronically transferred from your account to Farmers Helping Farmers stock trading account. We already have a stock trading account set up at our bank to receive security transfers and we can help to make such arrangements.
