Support environmental education, conservation, and community stewardship in Stanley Park through a gift of publicly traded securities.
Stanley Park Ecology (SPE) accepts donations of securities, including stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs through CanadaHelps Securities Donations.
A gift of securities is a powerful way to support SPE while potentially receiving additional tax benefits compared to donating cash.
Why Donate Securities?
When you donate appreciated publicly traded securities directly to a registered charity, you may:
- Receive a charitable tax receipt for the fair market value of the securities
- Eliminate capital gains tax on eligible appreciated securities
- Make a larger charitable impact without affecting your cash flow
This giving option can be especially beneficial for donors who have investments that have increased in value over time.
How It Works
SPE processes securities donations securely through CanadaHelps.
- Begin your donation through the CanadaHelps Securities Donation platform
- Complete the transfer information for your securities
- Your securities are transferred and sold
- SPE receives the proceeds to support our work
- You receive a charitable tax receipt for your donation
Your Impact
Your support helps SPE:
- Deliver accessible environmental education programs for children, youth, and adults
- Connect thousands of students with nature each year through curriculum-linked field trips
- Engage volunteers and community scientists in stewardship and habitat restoration
- Protect and promote the ecological well-being of Stanley Park
Every gift helps foster a deeper connection between people and the natural world in one of Canada’s most beloved urban parks.
