Have you considered donating appreciated shares to Glenview? It is another way to help support our mission (and help you avoid capital gains taxes)

Despite all the market ups and downs so far in 2026, the Toronto Stock Exchange Index shows year-to-date gains of over 10% as of October 31. If your portfolio includes shares with unrealized capital gains and you are considering an end-of-year donation to Glenview, your Finance and Property Team suggest that you donate shares to maximize your tax savings.

There are multiple advantages to donating appreciated shares from your portfolio. Consider:

1.   When shares are donated to Glenview, our policy is to sell them immediately. You will receive a tax receipt for the value of the shares on the day the sale takes place.

2.   No Capital Gains taxes will be incurred since this is a Charitable transfer, not a sale.

3.   If you were to sell the appreciated shares and then donate the funds, up to 50% of the gains will be taxable under CRA Capital Gains tax rules.

4.   The process is simple – click the link and complete the simple one-page form and send one copy to your broker and a second copy to the Glenview office/bookkeeper. Your broker will initiate the transfer to the Glenview account at CIBC Trust. Glenview Church will issue a tax receipt for your gift.

Shares can be donated any time throughout the year.

Please contact the Church Office or Barbara Millichamp for more information.

We would like to complete all transfers by December 15th.
