Donate Securities & Stocks

Maximize Your Donation While Reducing Taxes

Donating publicly traded securities, stocks, or mutual funds is one of the most tax-effective ways to give. When you transfer securities directly to the Alberta Diabetes Foundation, you avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable tax receipt for the full fair market value.

Your gift fuels life-changing diabetes research and care initiatives, helping to create a healthier future for 18 million Albertans.
