SECURITIES DONATIONS

Make a Lasting Impact Through a Gift of Securities

By donating securities directly through CanadaHelps to the DTRC, as opposed to selling them and donating the proceeds, the capital gains tax can be eliminated. This means more of your donation goes directly to dance artists and a greater charitable tax credit for you.

A gift of securities helps the DTRC provide vital career development and exploration, counselling, skills and study grants, financial literacy and resources to dancers across Canada as they navigate change and build sustainable futures.

It’s simple and easy. Get started today.

1. Fill out our online securities donation form. Upon completion, you will receive an email confirming all the details of your pledge.
2. Complete and sign the provided Letter of Direction form and send it to your financial advisor or investment firm. This authorizes the transfer of shares to CanadaHelps.
3. Once shares are sold, CanadaHelps will send you a confirmation email with your charitable tax receipt and disburse the proceeds directly to the DTRC.
4. Additional forms may be required by your bank if you are not using a broker or advisor to facilitate your transfer. Please contact your bank for more details.

Whether you are planning a charitable gift, looking for a tax-smart way to give, or considering your legacy of support, a donation of securities can make a profound difference in the lives of dancers when they need it most.

Still not clear on how this process works, please contact your Financial Advisor. They will be familiar with the process.

Territory Acknowledgment

We acknowledge the lands, waterways, languages, and Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island – First Nations, Inuit and Métis – who have been living on these lands since time immemorial. As we carry out our work, digitally and in person across many distinct territories, we offer our recognition and respect to all the peoples and places that are connected through our engagement together. We, at the Dancer Transition Resource Centre, commit to the ongoing work and learning required of all of us to address past and persistent harms. We continue to deepen our understanding and we welcome dialogue as we strive to move into better relations with Indigenous peoples and with the land.
