Securities

When you make a gift of securities to Music on Main, you put stock in knowing that you’re creating powerful opportunities for artists, audiences, and communities to ‘listen, together’. 

From providing musicians a reason to play, to enabling audiences to come together and share in digital and in-person events, to helping to make new work possible, your support makes a real impact. 

You can make a gift of securities securely right here on this page. You can also contact us directly for more information. If you are an executor, personal representative, estate trustee, liquidator, trust officer, lawyer, or individual transferring securities on behalf of an estate or trust, please reach out to Music on Main via email to confirm your plans before taking action. 

Why donate securities?

Your gift of securities entitles you to a donation receipt for the full market value (resale) of your contribution. Your gift will result in a non-refundable tax credit that will reduce your income taxes. You can use it in the year of your gift, or carry it forward for up to five additional years.

You pay no capital gains tax on the appreciated value (increased price) of your securities. Donating securities directly to Music on Main avoids the tax on capital gains, maximizes the return on your investment and protects the tax credits for use against other taxable income.
