A resource to help you make a strategic decision for your charitable donation
Charitable donations are important to many Canadians, providing a direct and impactful way to support the causes you care most deeply about. Donations can also provide tax benefits, which offset some of the cost of making your donation. However, not all charitable donations are identical from a tax perspective. Making strategic choices about your donations can provide real value.
This ATB Wealth guide explains how charitable donations work in Alberta for Canadian residents from a tax perspective, analyzing factors that influence the cost of a donation, such as the type of donor (individual vs. corporation), the type of property donated (cash vs. qualifying investments), and individual income levels.
