To donate securities, please complete the following four easy steps:

Step 1: Download & complete the "Donation form for Publicly Traded Securities".

Step 2: If you would like to designate your gift for a particular purpose or to a particular geographical location or to the area of most need, please discuss with a BC Cancer Foundation representative in order to ensure that your wishes can be met. Please click here for contact information of your local BC Cancer Foundation representative.

Step 3: Send via email the completed form to both our investment counsel and to us at the email adresses indicated on the donation form.

Step 4: Upon receipt of the transferred shares (which can take up to a few days – or weeks in the case of mutual funds), the BC Cancer Foundation will issue you a tax receipt for the average of the high and low trading prices of the securities on the date that they are received in our account.
