By making a gift of securities to United Way Lunenburg, you’re supporting our community’s most vulnerable in a way that makes an immediate difference, and helps maximize your gift’s value.

When transferring publicly traded securities directly to charity, the capital gains your securities realize are left untaxed. That means your gift has the greatest possible impact. Securities can include stocks, mutual funds, segregated funds, bonds, flow-through shares, and employee stock options.

We know that opportunities to double your impact are important to donors. We are delighted to announce that an anonymous family dedicated to strengthening communities across the Maritimes has generously offered a matching gift – doubling all donations of securities up to a total of $100,000 made between now and December 31, 2024. 

Giving is simple. Consult your financial advisor to decide which investments make the most financial and philanthropic impact. Then ask your broker to transfer securities to United Way Lunenburg by completing the appropriate transfer form. Finally, please get in touch to let us know that you’ve made your gift, so we can show our appreciation.
