Many people look forward to September and the coming months, as the weather becomes cooler and activities shift from lakefront vacations and beaches to fall walks and cool, crisp weather. However, this year is different. We are still living with a global pandemic and the future remains uncertain. In a world of uncertainty, we find comfort in those things that feel familiar. For some, that includes generosity.

As the season shifts, I encourage you to continue living generously. Charitable giving offers compassion to those in need and demonstrates hope for tomorrow. In this time of the pandemic, we need more generosity than ever before.

As you contemplate your charitable giving over the next few months, let me remind you that our team across Canada is available to help you create or modify your very own Generosity Plan™. We are here to help you navigate your giving, so you can support the causes that mean the most to you. 

Selling Generosity

COVID-19 has highlighted issues with our systems, structures and beliefs but while we live in an imperfect world, we each have the ability to effect change through our gifts to charity.

Darren Pries-Klassen, CEO, touches these points and more in a recent article in Canadian Mennonite.

Great Time to Donate In-Kind Securities

With the markets largely recovered, now is a great time to consult your financial advisor and ask if you should consider donating in-kind publicly traded securities. Like Mike, you may also discover that you have more to give than you thought.

A Different Way of Giving

For Ralph, the idea of donating anything other the cash was a whole new concept. After discovering the in-kind donation option and its tax advantages, Ralph decided to maximize his giving by initiating a gift of publicly traded securities instead of cash.
