Donate Stock or Mutual Funds

When you donate appreciated stock, you save on your taxes in two ways:

  1. you receive a charitable gift tax deduction and
  2. you don’t pay capital gains taxes on the shares you donate.

If you want to help immigrants and refugees settle into their new home here in Victoria and save on your taxes, consider making a donation of appreciated stock.  It’s easy to do and makes a big difference. Here’s all you need to do:

  1. Consult with an advisor, if you have one, about the amount and types of securities you want to give. This is not required.
  2. Make your donation of stock or mutual funds through our donation page at Canada Helps.
  3. Email Sheryl Sackman so we know to expect your donation.

The Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria’s Charitable Registration Number: 107509838RR0001.

Return To Ways To Give


Donor Advised Funds

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are a helpful way to support organizations you care about. They are easy to set up and will help you meet your philanthropic goals.

Leave A Legacy

Giving to the charitable causes that matter most to you during your lifetime is a meaningful and powerful way for you to express your personal values and priorities. Remembering your most cherished causes in your estate plan is a way for you to ensure that the support you gave during your lifetime can continue and that future generations will benefit from your generosity.

Private Sponsorship of Refugees

ICA's Private Sponsorship of Refugees program works with local sponsorship groups to support individuals and families coming to Canada through approved UNHCR and IRCC refugee programs.
