Ways of Giving
There are many ways to get involved with the Faculty of Applied Science. For more information about any of the ways of giving listed below, or to discuss a project or program you would like to help establish, please do not hesitate to contact us. Please see contact information below.
Gifts of Cash
UBC welcomes gifts of cash in any value or currency. If you choose to donate a gift of cash to UBC, you will receive a donation receipt for the full amount of your gift.
Gifts of Securities
UBC is happy to accept donations of securities or shares. Publicly traded securities include shares, bonds and mutual funds. Donating publicly traded securities directly to UBC rather than donating the cash proceeds from the sale of these same securities creates substantial tax savings.
In the May 2, 2006 federal budget, the government announced the elimination of the capital gains tax on such donations. This means even more tax savings for donors. UBC can accept both electronic and certificate shares, as well as gifts of publicly traded options. If you choose this gift type, you will receive a donation receipt for the value of the gift.
Gifts-in-kind
A gift-in-kind is a non-cash donation and includes items such as personal effects, artwork and real estate. Applied Science welcomes any gifts-in-kind for which it has a use. Tax receipts for the fair market price are issued once the gift has been appraised.
Planned Gifts
Planned Giving is the choice to make a charitable donation that is deferred into the future or the time of one’s passing. Planned gifts have unique tax implications and we would be pleased to work with you to ensure your best interests are considered when creating a gift. The following are examples of Planned Giving opportunities:
- Charitable Remainder Trusts
- Bequests and Wills
- Insurance Policies
- Gift Plus Annuity Plan
