With a direct donation of securities to CLOSD, you eliminate the capital gains tax you would be required to pay if you sold your appreciated securities, AND you also receive a charitable tax receipt for your donation.  A gift of securities benefits you more than giving cash, and maximizes your impact, making this the most efficient way to give.
