If you are wondering how you can make a difference to help others in your community this year, consider supporting Grand River Hospital where care literally never stops and you can designate your gift to an area of care that means the most to you and your family. 

 By donating publicly traded securities, you can eliminate the capital gains tax you’d have to pay if you sold the securities and then donated the proceeds -- plus you’ll receive a full charitable tax receipt for your donation. Securities can include stocks, mutual funds, segregated funds, bonds, flow-through shares, and employee stock options.
