For high net-worth Canadians giving away equity holdings reduces taxes and does some good.

Giving can take many forms. One of these is through gifts of securities like stocks, bonds, mutual funds or other physical assets. Using these tools for giving, donors can reduce tax obligations on their appreciated value while making a tremendous difference to the lives of people who need the care of Grand River Hospital.
