We’re happy to share a link to the Giftabulator® app, which was designed to instantly illustrate how giving from stocks, mutual funds, and registered accounts like RRIFs can create significant donations where taxable capital gains come into play. With basic facts and a few keystrokes, Giftabulator® will show you donation scenarios that can lower your capital gains taxes, income taxes, and estate capital gains taxes. In turn, you’ll be positioned to give a larger charitable gift this year, which will help us get closer to our funding goals. It’s a win-win, and it’s now at your fingertips.
