Giving Options
There are many ways to give to ADF and help us continue our commitment to diabetes research.
Cash – you can donate online, by mail, telephone or fax. You will receive a tax deductible receipt for your gift by mail.
Gift of Securities – as an alternative to Cash, there are substantial tax savings for donors to donate publicly traded securities (shares, bonds, mutual funds). New rules in the Federal Governments 2006 Budget allow multiple tax benefits to the donor.
- Gifts of eligible securities are not subject to any capital gains tax
- Donors receive a tax receipt for the full appreciated value of the eligible securities
- Donors are able to claim charitable donations of up to 75% net income with a five-year carry forward on any unused donation amount.
Planned Giving – donors wishing to leave a legacy to a charity will also maximize their tax benefits and ensure their contribution will be used for future generations. There are several options available for donors to choose from.
Employer Matching Gift Programs – ADF is very fortunate to be the charity of choice for many employees who work for a business with an Employee Matching Gift Program. In effect, the employee’s gift is matched by the Employer – thereby doubling the impact of the employee’s gift.
Gifts In Kind – ADF will gladly accept non-cash gifts from generous donors including, artwork, jewelry, and real estate. The gift must be appraised so that a donation receipt can be issued for the gift’s fair market value.
