Donate Securities ButtonsGrab Attention with Donate Securities Buttons

Add a Donate Securities button to your website to encourage and educate your supporters about gifts of securities. Clicking Donate Securities will prompt visitors to your site to complete the steps to make a donation of securities or mutual funds to your organization.

Best of all?  When a Canadian gives a gift of a security or mutual fund that’s increased in value since its purchase, they avoid the capital gains tax. This means your charity receives a larger gift, and your donor benefits from a tax receipt for the full value of the security or mutual funds.

 

Adding a Donate Securities Button is Easy!

In just a few easy steps, you can add a Donate Securities  button to your website.  Simply:

  1. Log into your CanadaHelps charity account and click the Donate Now tab. Only charities with a Full Fundraising Account have access to this.
  2. Click “Donate Securities Link” at the top and select the Donate Securities button of your choice. You’ll find an array of attention grabbing colours to choose from!
  3. Copy the HTML code that appears at the bottom of the page and paste it onto your website. That’s it.
