Corporate & Securities Giving
Local businesses and individuals with investments can make a powerful difference — not just through generosity, but through smart giving. By donating through your company or transferring publicly traded securities, you can help feed neighbours across the Comox Valley and take advantage of significant tax benefits.
Corporate Giving
Your business can be a force for good in our community.
When a corporation donates to a registered charity like the Comox Valley Food Bank, it receives a tax deduction that reduces taxable income — a benefit that rewards generosity and makes a tangible impact close to home.
Ways to give corporately:
-
One-time or recurring cash donations
-
Corporate sponsorships or workplace giving campaigns
-
Matching gift programs for employees
-
Fundraising events or cause-marketing partnerships
Corporate donations are eligible for an official charitable tax receipt, and can be carried forward for up to five years if not fully used in the year of giving.
If your organization would like to partner with us, we’d love to connect.

Legacy or Major Gifts
