Nov 18, 2024 | Uncategorized

Legacy giving is a powerful way to ensure your values and commitment to the printing industry continue to make a difference for generations to come. Including Canadian Print Scholarships in your will can have a profound impact on the lives of future print professionals. But did you know that you can maximize this impact by donating securities?

Maximize Your Impact: Donate Securities in Your Will: Consider donating securities in your will to Canadian Print Scholarships for a tax-efficient way to leave a lasting legacy. By gifting stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, you can avoid capital gains taxes while maximizing the value of your contribution. Your donation will help provide scholarships for future print professionals, ensuring your commitment to education and innovation endures for years to come.

Donating publicly traded securities, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, directly to Canadian Print Scholarships is a highly tax-efficient way to make a legacy gift. When you donate securities, you can avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the securities, which means more of your donation goes directly to supporting scholarships for deserving students. This type of gift not only benefits the charity but also provides significant tax advantages for your estate, making it a smart and impactful way to give.

Your donation can provide more substantial scholarship opportunities, helping students to afford the education and training needed to succeed in the competitive print and graphic communications field.
