Imagine if you could support your regional hospital through your savvy financial decision-making. That’s the beauty of donating stock—it’s a smart financial move that maximizes your impact while giving you additional tax benefits!
What are gifts of securities?
Gifts of securities are donations of publicly traded appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other investment assets. Instead of making a cash donation, individuals transfer ownership of these securities directly to the PRHC Foundation.
What are the benefits of gifts of securities?
By donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds directly to the PRHC Foundation, you’ll receive a larger tax credit and receive a charitable tax receipt for the full value of your shares—meaning you may be able to make a larger gift than you could have with a cash donation alone. If you’ve held stocks for some time and the value has appreciated, this form of giving is likely for you!
Plus, when you donate appreciated stocks, you don’t have to pay the capital gains tax that you would have incurred if you sold the asset instead. This means more of your donation goes towards making a difference in the quality of healthcare available at your hospital. You’ll receive a tax receipt for the full market value of the securities, which can be used to further reduce your annual income when filing your taxes.

Thank you for empowering world-class care, close to home.
When you’re facing the complex, life-threatening effects of vascular disease, being told you need urgent surgical care to avoid amputation is overwhelming enough. Right now, at Peterborough Regional Health Centre, vascular patients often need multiple procedures on different days to save life and limb. Each carries its own risk, recovery, and stress.
A hybrid operating room would change that.
This advanced surgical space would allow PRHC’s experts to perform multiple procedures at once, in a single room, during a single session.
For patients, that means fewer risks and complications, a shorter hospital stay, only one recovery, and most importantly, more time at home with family and friends, doing what they love with less pain.
This is the future of vascular care. A hybrid OR will make better, more advanced, lifesaving treatment available close to home for the more than 600,000 people in our region who rely on PRHC.
But this $6 million cutting-edge technology won’t be funded by the government. It will be possible only through donor support. Help bring safer, faster vascular care to PRHC, because every second counts.
