Gifts of Stock

If you are considering a donation to Trent University and you own publicly listed securities - stocks, bonds, mutual fund units or shares - that have appreciated in value, you may want to consider transferring these directly to the University, rather than cashing them in to make a donation.

Consult with your financial advisor today to discuss the tax benefits of giving a gift of securities!

Memorial gifts are also possible whereby a donor desires to make a one-time special gift as a permanent memorial to a loved one or friend.
