People who own stocks, bonds, or mutual funds are happy when their investments increase. Unfortunately, when you convert your investment to cash, the capital gain is taxable. By directly donating your publicly listed securities to the Central Okanagan Food Bank, capital gains tax does not apply, allowing you to give more.
The Central Okanagan Foodbank holds an account with Qtrade Advisor, a division of Credential Qtrade Securities Inc. and the benefactor will have forms successfully completed and executed. This ensures an efficient transfer of in-kind investment donations directly from your personal investment account to the Central Okanagan Food Bank.
Before we can accept any securities as a donation, please Contact Us so that the investment may be reviewed to ensure it is an acceptable security that is transferable.
An official tax receipt will be issued upon the successful transfer (donation) of in-kind Securities.

Giving to the Central Okanagan Food Bank can last beyond your lifetime. Like planting an apple seed, these special gifts provide a legacy of ongoing support, one that honours the donor while helping future generations.
A legacy gift to the Central Okanagan Food Bank is one of the most significant and long-lasting contributions you can make to the cause of fighting hunger in Kelowna and West Kelowna.
You do not have to be wealthy to leave a legacy. Today, the individual contributions of ordinary people help keep the Food Bank going on a daily basis. By establishing a bequest, individuals can leave a legacy that supports our mission now and in the future.
With a little research and planning today, you can leave a gift that will nourish our community for tomorrow. For more information on the Central Okanagan Food Bank and how you can make a planned gift to fight hunger, please Contact Us.
