Donating securities

A donation of securities or mutual funds is the most efficient way to support World Animal Protection. With a gift of securities the capital gains tax does not apply, allowing you to give more at no extra cost. You receive a double tax benefit with the elimination of the capital gains tax along with a charitable tax receipt for your donation. A gift of securities, therefore, benefits you more than giving cash and allows you to make a larger gift.

This is a great way to show your commitment and belief that every animal deserves a life worth living, that World Animal Protection can find long-term sustainable solutions to stop animal exploitation, cruelty and suffering.
