Ep. 17 | How to Give More to Charity and Pay Less Tax
Want to support a cause and cut your tax bill? This episode is for you.
Tré explains how to give to charity in a smarter, more tax-efficient way — without spending more out of pocket. Whether you're tithing, giving to local rescues, or donating to major organizations, there’s a better way than cash or cheques.
The key? Donating appreciated investments.
You’ll learn:
- Why giving securities instead of cash saves you tax
- How to turn capital gains into tax-free donations
- The role of CanadaHelps and how to use it
- What advisors often miss when clients make large donations
- How business owners can give through their corporations
If you’re giving thousands a year and no one’s talked to you about this, that’s a red flag.
Follow, rate, and share to help more Canadians give generously—and wisely.
