Following these three steps will help you quickly and easily donate your gift of publicly-listed securities to the Alberta Cancer Foundation.
First, call or email your Alberta Cancer Foundation contact and ask for the Security Transfer Package, or download it from albertacancer.ca/securities
Step 1: Complete the form titled “Letter of Authorization from Donor to Broker”.
Step 2: We’ll ensure your securities can be transferred. Email or fax the completed form to your Alberta Cancer Foundation contact or our Manager of Planned Giving at christy.soholt@albertacancer.ca or fax: 780-643-4399. We will confirm our ability to accept the transfer with our Investment Manager and will have a response to you in no later than two business days.
Step 3: Initiate the transfer with your broker. Once we have confirmed and get back to you, email, fax or deliver the completed form to your broker or investment advisor who will initiate, and be responsible for, the transfer. Notifying us when this step is completed will enable us to help make the transfer happens as timely as possible.
Additional note for gifts of mutual funds – To transfer a mutual fund, your broker or delivering institution will also need to submit a Power of Attorney form with your Letter of Authorization transfer form.
