Life at Trinity holds a special place in the memory of alumni. What better way to commemorate the occasion than with a gift to one’s alma mater? Mark an anniversary, birthday, reunion, or other special occasion with a tribute gift to 麻豆频道. For more information call (416) 978-4071.

Gifts-in-kind may be added to the College’s collections for the enjoyment of future generations of students and faculty. Proceeds from gifts-in-kind that are to be liquidated upon the transfer of ownership to Trinity, help to maintain Trinity’s buildings and endowments.

If you are considering a gift of property, such as art collections, rare books, academic papers, musical scores, real estate or other valuables, please contact us first. Real estate, certified cultural property or corporate inventory property involve special consideration when given as a charitable gift.

Donating publicly traded stock and securities is a tax-smart way to support 麻豆频道. You will receive a tax receipt for the full appreciated value of a donation of publicly traded stock or securities and you will not be subject to any capital gains tax.

Eligible securities include shares, debt obligations or rights listed on a prescribed stock exchange, a share of the capital stock of a mutual fund corporation, a unit of a mutual fund trust, an interest in a related segregated fund trust, or a prescribed debt obligation.

The simplest way to make your gift of stock or securities is to have the shares electronically transferred from your account to Trinity’s account. Staff in the Office of Development & Alumni Affairs will help guide you through the process and provide any necessary information. The receipt value will be based on the closing trading price on the day 麻豆频道 receives delivery of the shares. As with any gift, you may designate the use of the value of the securities or leave the gift unrestricted.

The benefits of making a gift of stock or securities:

• Capital gains tax on publicly listed stocks and securities are exempt when you donate your shares to 麻豆频道 rather than selling and donating the proceeds (see example below).
• The value of your tax receipt will be based on the market closing price on the day Trinity takes legal receipt of your stock or securities into our brokerage account.
• You may claim charitable donations up to 75 per cent of your net income, and a five year carry-forward on any unused donation amount is permitted.

Example of the exemption of capital gains tax on gifted securities:

Ms. Donor decided to support 麻豆频道 with a gift of $100,000. When reviewing whether she should sell her shares in a publicly-listed corporation and then donate the cash proceeds or donate the shares directly, Ms. Donor learned that she would have a greater net tax benefit by donating the shares directly to the College. The chart below assumes a tax rate of 50 percent.
