charity: water’s Post

Last weekend, I decided to take a Giving What We Can pledge. For at least one year, I will give 10% of my income to high-impact charities that are improving the lives of others around the globe, now and in the future. Why did I do this? Sometimes the world's biggest issues can seem so intractable that meaningful change feels impossible. Throwing money at the problem isn't the panacea, but it certainly does help to bring about massive change if strategically placed: https://lnkd.in/e7x47sUE If you earn at least 47,000 USD (post tax) per year, you are in the richest 2% globally; 62,000 USD (post tax) even put you into the 1% bracket. I firmly hope that by taking this pledge, I will contribute to normalizing improving the lives of others.

🌟 "A taxpayer who chooses to donate marketable securities is not required to pay tax on the appreciated capital gain!" In Canada, when individuals or corporations sell marketable securities, it results in either a capital gain or loss. Normally, 50% of a capital gain is taxable. However, to incentivize giving, an exemption exists that reduces this taxable capital gain to zero when the securities are donated. In other words, donating marketable securities means the taxpayer doesn't have to pay tax on the appreciated capital gain. Dive into this insightful article on Gifts of Marketable Securities by Philanthropic Advisor, Linda Argali, CPA to learn more. #JcfMontreal #JCF #CharitableGiving #PhilanthropicAdvisors #PlannedGivingWisdom #TaxPlanning #CharitableGiving #MarketableSecurities #TaxWise #TaxExperts

Greetings! Please help us raise awareness, not only about what we do but also how many people and resources don’t understand why we have a need to raise funds. When people hear that we “give away” items for FREE and that we’re an “All-Volunteer” organization, meaning no paid staff, we need to remind them that it DOES cost money to keep our program going. Expenses as you know include insurance: for liability coverage as well as for our building. It includes utilities: water, sewer, electricity. The cost to occasionally rent trucks to pick up from multiple large volume donors, as well as the cost of fuel for those rental trucks. On top of that there’s the occasional “special need” purchase, for items that are needed but are rare to have donated and efforts to locate such items using social media  blitzes comes up empty. We are going to be putting more focus on fun and fundraising from here on out as the demand for our services continues to grow. In addition to giving people in need a “hand-up” we also work closely with numerous organizations and help connect those same people in need to services they may not know about, or how to reach them.

Inheritance tax (IHT) is a tax paid on the value of your estate when you die, which reduces the value you can ultimately pass onto your beneficiaries. The current IHT rate is 40% on the value above the threshold.  However, there are ways to reduce your liability and ensure your family is protected when you pass away: ✅Know what your estate is worth⁠ ✅Put your assets into a trust⁠ ✅Gift your assets ✅Charitable donations⁠
