Tax Receipt
We are a charitable non-profit society and a Canadian tax-deductible receipt will be issued to you. Our Charitable Registration number is: 874532518RR0001. For questions about tax receipts, please contact our donor relations team at donorrelations@theseed.ca
Donation of Securities is a Tax-Effective Charitable Giving Decision
By donating publicly-listed securities to The Mustard Seed instead of cash, donors can help fund our activities while enjoying the benefits of this preferred tax treatment. Donors can expect to receive a charitable tax receipt equal to the trading price of the securities on the date of transfer and pay no tax on increases in value prior to the donation. For more information, please visit Canada Revenue Agency.
Tax Tips for charitable giving
On the first $200 donated, individuals can claim a tax credit of 16 per cent. On any amount over $200, you receive a tax credit of 29 per cent. If you wish, all tax credits can be carried forward up to five years. Donations can be either cash or tangible property. When donating tangible property, you can designate the donation’s value as anywhere between the fair market value of the asset and the cost (what you're originally paid for the asset).
