OTHER WAYS TO DONATE

GIFTS-IN-KIND

Gifts-in-kind are donations of property other than cash. They can include donations of land, buildings, marketable securities, equipment, furniture, vehicles, promotional items, and raffle and auction prizes.

To make a gift-in-kind donation, please contact us.

SECURITIES

A donation of securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to give charitably. Since capital gains taxes don't apply, you can give more and get more. You receive the charitable tax receipt for the full market value of the security upon completion of the sale.

Learn more about donating securities to CIP/ICU Planning Student Trust Fund through CanadaHelps.org here.

PLANNED GIVING

There are many options for making a legacy gift to support students and the future of the planning profession. These include gifts of life insurance, property, RRSPs and RRIFs, securities, and bequests.

With any planned giving, the donor should consult with a financial planner to determine the course of action that best reflects the goals of the donor.

BECOME A SPONSOR

CIP-PSTF is always interested in establishing new scholarships and bursaries. Sponsoring an annual scholarship or bursary is an effective way to demonstrate your organization’s commitment to the planning profession and your support for those in need. It is also an excellent opportunity to honour your organization’s founder(s) with an impactful legacy benefiting both Canada and its future planners. Learn more here.
