Giving a gift of stock, bonds, or property to UNHCR can be a very effective way to minimize the tax paid on current income. More importantly, gifts of appreciated stock can make a tremendous difference in the lives of refugees at a lower cost to you than making an outright gift of cash—the Canadian tax system offers preferred tax benefits for these gifts

If you are interested in making a donation of stock or securities in order to support refugees, please contact us or your financial planner to determine the best time to transfer the assets to UNHCR to maximize your tax benefits.
