Scotia McLeod is offering their fall commission-free week from September 8-11, 2025. During this time, they will sell gifts under $10,000 CAD or $10,000 USD without charging a commission. (The normal commission is $140 for gifts under $6,000; $175 for gifts between $6,001 and $9,999). Mutual funds are never charged a commission.
Individuals may use the PCC stockbroker to give gifts of securities to their congregation.
If any member of your congregation would like to take advantage of this commission-free offer, the securities must be in the PCC account by the end of the day on Thursday September 11, 2025. Securities donated prior to September 8, with donor instructions, will be sold during the commission free week.
NOTE: Scotiabank offers these commission-free weeks quarterly, but the exact dates are only confirmed 1 or 2 weeks before it takes place. We anticipate that there will be one more in early December.
To benefit from this commission-free week, donors should start the paperwork now and mark “Commission Free Week” on the donation form (attached). **A copy of the completed donation form must be emailed to plannedgiving@presbyterian.ca so we know where to direct the funds.**
We are happy to assist first-time donors in navigating the process, email plannedgiving@presbyterian.ca
