Donating Securites

A donation of securities or mutual fund shares is the most efficient way to give charitably since the capital gains tax does not apply. Your security or mutual fund donation means a larger donation for Partners in Mission Food Bank. It also means a larger charitable tax receipt for you.

If this approach to giving reflects your kind of financial planning, please contact our Executive Director – Dan Irwin at (613) 544-4100 for more information or directly through this link.
