Your donations are very important to us and allow the Ecomuseum Zoo to provide unique experiences to its visitors each year. Your contribution furthermore contributes to the zoo's high standards of excellence in animal well-being and enriches the educational activities offered to the 35,000 children who participate in the zoo's educational program each year.

There are different ways to donate to the Ecomuseum Zoo. While further information regarding one-time donations, monthly donations and planned giving can be found in the links below, here are a few other ways to give the Ecomuseum Zoo:

Gifts of shares, stock options and other capital property

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.
