Make a bigger impact with your investments
Do you hold stocks or mutual funds that have gone up in value?
Donating them directly to Guelph Public Library (GPL) is a tax-smart and generous way to give - one that benefits you and our community.
Maximize your impact - minimize your taxes
When you donate publicly traded securities directly to GPL, you won't pay capital gains tax - and GPL receives the full value of your gift. That means you get a larger tax break, while enabling even more vital library offerings. It’s a win-win!
Receive a full tax receipt
Your charitable tax receipt will reflect the fair market value of the shares on the day of transfer, ensuring you receive maximum credit for your generosity.
Safe, easy, and efficient
Through Canada Helps, your donation will be processed securely in just 3–5 business days.
