Family member, friend, acquaintance having a Birthday, Anniversary or celebrating a recent accomplishment? How about a special occasion such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, or just to say "Hello". Consider a gift in their name.

Donating securities directly to Shades of Hope rather than cashing them and donating the proceeds, ensures that the full market value of the asset can be used to support the needs of wildlife in care.
By donating the securities directly, you will be exempt from the capital gains tax that would normally be assessed and your charitable tax credit will be equal to the full market value of that security.
This type of donation can be expertly handled by Canada Helps on behalf of Shades of Hope. Please click on the link below for more information on this process.
