💙 Donate Now
Make a one-time or recurring donation securely online using Zeffy. We accept all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and pre-authorized debit. Official tax receipts are issued automatically.
Zeffy is a free platform for charities, meaning 100% of your donation goes directly to the Trust. You may choose to support Zeffy by covering their transaction fees, but this is completely optional.
📈 Donate Publicly Traded Securities (Stocks, ETFs, Mutual Funds)
Donating publicly traded securities in-kind can offer significant tax advantages.
Under Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) rules:
When you donate eligible publicly traded securities directly to a registered charity,
Any capital gains on those securities are exempt from capital gains tax, and
You still receive a charitable donation tax receipt for the full fair market value of the securities on the date of donation.
This can make donating securities more tax-efficient than selling them first and donating the cash.

Choosing Where to Give
Contributing to the Rotary Foundation means supporting one of the world's most esteemed charities. Your donation can support a variety of funds and initiatives, including endowments, with each contribution being tax-deductible in Canada. Depending on your chosen fund, your donation may be invested for three years before it's used, or it may immediately support specific causes. Funds are allocated through a grant application process, including District grants which utilize donations from district members after three years. For select funds, donors receive Paul Harris Recognition points, where each US dollar donated equals one point. Accumulating 1000 points grants the donor the title of a Paul Harris Fellow, with further recognition levels available for higher or more frequent contributions. For more information or to make a donation, visit Rotary Foundation.
