Support Buddies

Donate Securities

Give more while paying less tax. Donating securities to Buddies creates a double tax advantage: you’ll receive a tax receipt for the full market value of your donation while completely avoiding capital gains tax on appreciated investments. This makes donating securities one of the most tax-efficient ways to support Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.

Eligible securities include:

  • stocks
  • bonds
  • mutual funds

Note: Shares in private corporations and stock options are not eligible for this tax treatment.

Donating securities allows you to make a significant impact on queer theatre without affecting your day-to-day finances—especially beneficial for appreciated investments you’ve held for many years.
