Donate Securities
Make a Greater Impact for Women
A gift of publicly traded securities is one of the most effective ways to support women experiencing homelessness and vulnerability.
By donating stocks, bonds, or mutual fund units directly to Chez Doris, you can help provide essential services and a path toward greater stability and independence for thousands of women each year.
At the same time, donating securities can offer significant tax advantages, allowing you to maximize the impact of your philanthropy.
Why Donate Securities?
When you donate eligible securities directly to Chez Doris, you may:
- Eliminate capital gains tax on the appreciated value of your securities
- Receive an official charitable tax receipt for the full fair market value of your gift
- Make a larger gift than you may have thought possible
- Create an immediate and meaningful impact for women in our community
Many donors find that giving securities allows them to contribute more generously than if they sold the assets first and donated the proceeds.
Your Impact
Every gift helps women access essential supports, including:
- Emergency shelter and housing support
- Healthy meals and food security programs
- Employment and education services
- Wellness and mental health resources
- Long-term pathways toward stability and independence
