Perhaps you have an asset - like property, securities, real estate, bonds, or art - that you no longer want or need. Perhaps you’re concerned about the potential impact of capital gains tax on your estate. You can donate assets to the University for immediate or future tax relief.
"I went to university on a scholarship - I couldn’t have gone without it. It opened a world of possibilities, not just for me, but for my family. By giving the University some of my shares, I repay the gift that was made to me years ago, and I support education in Israel. I like to think I’ve made someone else’s dreams come true, maybe somebody who will change the world."
Mr. L.G., Victoria

How giving gifts of property or securities work

You can donate gifts of property or securities to the University now and receive a tax-creditable receipt for the value of your donation. Or, you can assign these gifts to the University in your will; your estate will receive a tax-creditable receipt for the value of your gift.

Gift of Securities - Elimination of Capital Gains Tax

Today there is a greater incentive for the donation of stocks to registered charitable organizations as the capital gains tax on donations of securities has been eliminated. When a gift of publicly traded securities is made to a charitable organization the donor receives a substantial tax incentive making such a gift highly attractive and more cost effective than ever.
We urge you to consider making such a gift to the Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
