To help us raise awareness of environmental issues within the community you may wish to explore the idea of donating shares or other market securities.

Under federal and provincial tax rules, any donation of publicly traded market securities to a registered charity such as the Ecomuseum Zoo, allows for a total exemption from capital gains tax. For anyone holding publicly traded equity assets, this type of donation is usually much more advantageous than a cash donation.

For more information on this type of donation or to obtain the appropriate documentation to provide your broker, please contact the administrative services team at the Ecomuseum Zoo, at 514 457-9449 ext. 114, or at alisson.weiss@ecomuseum.ca.

Many people have discovered that they can make a significant donation to the Ecomuseum Zoo through a life insurance policy. This type of donation provides several benefits:

• You can make a large charitable donation
  by paying a comparatively small insurance premium;
• You can become an important benefactor without delay, instead of waiting years before making a donation from accumulated assets;
• You get tax benefits and you avoid taxes, probate fees and administrative fees that can reduce the value of your donation;
• You make a donation in complete confidentiality;
• You can choose to establish an endowment fund in your name with the death benefit.
