Gift of Stocks & Securities
Whether you want to make a one-time donation or support our ongoing programs, donating securities is a powerful way to help us achieve our mission and make a brighter future for those in need right here in Canada.
Gift of Stocks & Securities
Your Zakat has been pivotal in upholding the dignity of our community and fulfilling a profound Islamic duty.
By donating stocks and securities, you can make a significant impact on our work providing food, shelter, clothing, and essentials for Muslim families across Canada here and now.
Donating securities is a tax-efficient alternative to donating cash, as you won't pay taxes on capital gains, and you'll receive a tax receipt for the securities' fair market value. This means you can support our programs and enjoy a significant tax incentive, making it a win-win situation.
