Gifts of Securities

By donating publicly traded shares to United Way Peterborough & District, you will not pay the capital gains tax normally associated with such a sale. This means you receive a tax receipt for the full value of the shares but are NOT taxed on any gain. Donors of securities therefore do not need to take any capital gain into income. Your charitable receipt will reflect the closing price of the shares on the date they are received in United Way’s brokerage account.

Note: Actual shares must be transferred to United Way. If shares are sold and then the proceeds donated to United Way, the enhanced tax benefits do not apply.

Please click here for the Donation of Publicly Traded Securities Form. If you’d like more information, please contact our office: 705.742.8839.

☕️We kicked off our @unitedwayptbo Staff Spirit Week with a cozy hot chocolate bar at our all-staff meeting!

❤️Even though our team gives in many ways year-round, Spirit Week is a chance to come together, have some fun, and show what workplace campaigns can look like across our community!

😊Cheers to Jim for starting us off with a smile. Stay tuned to see what the rest of Spirit Week brings!

It’s with a profound sadness that United Way Peterborough and District, staff, Board of Directors, and Campaign Cabinet remember and celebrate the life and legacy of Ann Farquharson.

Ann was a dedicated member of our Campaign Cabinet - a community builder with admirable determination. Her legacy spans decades of dedicated civic leadership, and her impact is woven into every corner of our community. We will miss Ann’s voice in our community, and around our tables.

To her family, many friends, and colleagues: we offer our deepest condolences. To our United Way community: we pledge to honour her memory by continuing the work that she so believed in.

Thank you, Ann.
