Support Small Change Fund

Small Change Fund donors share a belief that giving to organizations and projects at a grassroots level will make a lasting change and impact in our country.

By giving your donation to Small Change Fund you support us to:

  • Find – and fund – more grassroots projects;
  • Provide support to the most innovative projects that, while too small for traditional funding, are vitally important and exciting to be part of;
  • Boost the pot of funds we can use to top-up projects that just need one extra push to tip them over the edge;
  • Increase giving at the grassroots level, and see bigger change and more impact.

Donate stocks or securities – save tax!

There are significant tax advantages in donating your shares in stocks or options directly to a Small Change Fund, rather than selling the shares and donating the proceeds. A charitable donation of publicly traded securities such as stocks, mutual funds, bonds or futures results in a tax receipt for 100% of the value of the gift on the day of the transfer. By providing a larger potential deduction than an equivalent gift of cash, this option allows you to maximize your charitable giving.

Donations of publicly traded stocks, mutual funds, bonds and GICs are not subject to capital gains tax, making donated stock and securities the one of the most tax effective way to make a gift. Your donation must be a transfer of the stock or security itself, not the cash proceeds of a sale of the security. Please call us at 416-519-1260 to make a transfer from an investment account.

Leave a legacy

If you are making a planned gift in your Will, you can direct your gift toward a particular fund or program (please check with us to ensure your gift can be used as intended), and you retain the ability to modify your gift if your circumstances change.

We are happy to work with you and your financial advisor to determine the option that is just right for you. Please contact us at 416-519-1260 if you have any questions.
