Making a gift of securities to Family Services of Greater Vancouver is amongst the least expensive ways you can help make life a little easier for those families most in need in our communities. Recent changes to tax laws by the Government of Canada allow the donor to avoid paying capital gains tax when transferring publicly-traded securities to registered charities.

Donating securities to Family Services of Greater Vancouver (FSGV) is easy:

• Complete this securities transfer form (download here) and send it to your broker.
• Your broker will then arrange for the transfer, contact and forward the securities transfer form to our agent, Richard Kortje at Canaccord Capital.
• Canaccord Capital will advise FSGV upon receipt of the securities.
• You will receive a charitable gift receipt for the amount of your gift on the closing value of the security on date of receipt of the security in FSGV’s account.
