Legacy Giving

Special Olympics PEI, Athlete Celebrating

Special Olympics PEI is largely a volunteer-based organization, and we depend on support from our partners and donors to provide programs, mentorship, and resources.  You can be certain that your donation will be put to use directly benefiting islanders with an intellectual disability. Furthermore, 100% of donations stay here in PEI. 

Your contribution, no matter the size, will aid us in ensuring that the over 600 children, youth and adults with an intellectual disability across PEI who use our programs are able to continue to do so.

Gift of Securities

Donating publicly traded stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other securities is a tax-smart way to support Special Olympics PEI while enhancing your charitable gift.  By donating publicly traded securities, you eliminate the capital gains tax that would be payable if you were to first sell the stock, and then donate the proceeds.  

Donating securities is easy!  Simply fill out the Securities Donation Form to have your brokerage electronically transfer your gift of stock or securities from your account to Special Olympics PEI’s account.  You will receive a tax receipt for income tax purposes for the full appreciated value of your securities on the day that they are received.
