for endowments. You may consider a bequest to VCC in your will. Legacy gifts are vitally important to VCC's vision to continue to be British Columbia's No. 1 college. Strategically planned charitable gifts can help VCC to plan for the future and help you to reduce final taxes payable from your estate. Tax savings are substantially greater when donating publicly traded securities directly to VCC rather than donating the cash proceeds from the sale of these same securities. In the May 2, 2006 federal budget, the government announced the elimination of the capital gains tax on such donations. Please contact us for more information on how to donate a gift of shares. Are you able to donate equipment and/or other items that VCC could use? If so, you could make a gift-in-kind donation. VCC will gladly accept any gifts-in-kind for which there is a use within the college. A donation receipt may be issued for the fair market value of the gift provided a third party evaluation of the gift is provided. Thank-you to our donors for their generosity. Government of Canada Charitable Registration #11928.2846.RR0001 A charitable gift receipt will be provided as per Canada Revenue Agency guidelines.
