Make a Gift of Shares
St. Mary’s University welcomes gifts of publicly listed securities such as mutual funds, shares and stocks with the assistance of a professional broker. You can make a gift of shares to StMU by transferring them electronically and we strongly recommend you consult your financial advisor, securities broker or another financial representative to assist you in making the transfer. For more information or to initiate a gift, please email Heather Hadden.
- Gift of Publicly Listed Securities 2024 Unrestricted
- Gift of Publicly Listed Securities 2024 Restricted
Please note: Transferring shares between brokerage firms often takes 3 to 4 business days and price fluctuations can occur. It is St. Mary’s University’s policy to sell donated securities as soon as possible. Your gift will be valued at the closing price on the day the security is received in our account and you will be issued a charitable tax receipt for that value.
To ensure a charitable receipt for the current year is issued, please initiate your gift before December 13.
If you prefer to donate by mail, you can send a one-time gift via cheque or money order payable to St. Mary’s University. Send your donation using the address below.

Extension of the deadline for making 2024 charitable donation
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has extended the deadline for charitable donations, meaning certain gifts made until February 28, 2025, can still be claimed on your 2024 income tax return. Don’t miss this opportunity to maximize your impact while benefiting from tax savings!
Your donation will have twice the impact! Thanks an anonymous donor, every donation will be matched dollar for dollar! Together, you will empower students. Help them succeed. Inspire them to be graduates who serve, graduates like family lawyer Camille Boyer ’13 and environmental steward Jack Nodwell ’19 who also are featured in our latest edition of the Marian Update.
