Maximize your charitable impact by donating appreciated securities to YSM. Enjoy the dual benefits of avoiding capital gains tax, and receiving a tax receipt for the full market value of your donation.

Donating securities is simple. Your broker can easily transfer the shares to YSM’s account using our convenient and cost-effective transfer options. We have three convenient and cost-effective ways to transfer your shares to YSM. Scroll down to learn more.

1

If your donation is valued at $2,500 or greater.

2

If your donation is valued at $2,499 or less.

3

If you are donating to multiple charities or wish to remain anonymous.

For option 3, you will be transferred to our partner Link Charity, who will process your donations on our behalf.

You can use these forms to instruct/authorize your broker to transfer your donated stocks to YSM or our affiliate partner Link Charity.
