Stocks and Securities
A donation of securities is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to support Opera Atelier.
Under current CRA rules, it may be possible for donors who give stocks, bonds, futures and options, or shares in mutual funds to pay no tax on the capital gain. Contact your broker or financial advisor to see if you qualify.
How To Donate Securities
1. Download the Letter of Authorisation form and complete all sections.
2. Send the completed Letter of Authorisation form to your broker or investment advisor to initiate the transfer. If you are using a self-directed brokerage, you will need to call your financial institution to initiate the transfer.
4. Let us know the transfer is coming by emailing us a copy of the completed Letter of Authorisation form to Devo@operaatelier.com. This step is important because securities are transferred into our account on an anonymous basis. Notifying us will ensure you receive our thanks, any appropriate recognition, and your official receipt for income tax purposes.
