Radio’s not what it used to be. Paired with mobile phones, it’s more powerful than ever before. The team at The Hangar, our ICT innovation lab in Tanzania, is busy ushering in a whole new era of interactive radio. But they need your help.
You can make radio go even further by funding radio innovations that amplify farmers’ voices and help them get the information and support they really need. Donate by November 1 and your gift will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling your impact.
*All donations above $10 from within Canada are tax
deductible and will receive a charitable receipt.

Farm Radio International is fortunate to have thousands of individual supporters who contribute donations throughout the year. It is no exaggeration to say these donors are the bedrock of Farm Radio International. Some donors, however, are looking for new ways to give.

You will receive a tax receipt for the full appreciated value of a donation of publicly traded stock or securities, and as of May 2, 2006, you will not be subject to any capital gains tax on the donated stock.
Farm Radio International is now set up to accept such donations. The transfer of stocks is easy and fast. Call us in advance and we can make the transfer as smooth as possible for you.
Gift of Publicly Listed Securities
Example:
Let’s say Jeff decided to support Farm Radio International with a gift of $10,000. When reviewing whether he should sell his shares in a publicly-listed corporation and then donate the cash proceeds, or donate the shares directly, Jeff learned that he would have a greater net tax benefit by donating the shares directly to Farm Radio International. The chart below assumes a tax rate of 50 per cent.
| Sell Shares & Donate Cash |
Donate Shares Directly |
|
|---|---|---|
| Fair market value of shares | $10,000 | $10,000 |
| Original cost of shares | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| Capital gain | $8,000 | $8,000 |
| Tax paid on capital gains (at 25 %) | $2,000 | $0 |
| Tax credit received by donor (50 % of fair market value) | $5,000 | $5,000 |
| Net tax benefit | $3,000 | $5,000 |
We strongly recommend that you consult with your financial and legal advisors to ensure that you make fully informed decisions.

It might surprise you to learn that many gifts of thousands of dollars, or even tens of thousands, are made by ordinary Canadians with middle class incomes and modest assets. A simple way to plan a significant gift is to make a bequest in your will. Please discuss this type of gift with us, to ensure that we will use your gift the way you want.
*Please call the Executive Director to discuss your planned gift.
