Giving looks different today. Let’s explore what’s possible.
Cash may still be king in commerce—but when it comes to charitable giving, it’s no longer the only, or even the best, way to make an impact. As financial habits, assets, and planning tools evolve, so too do the options for supporting causes you care about.
At Alberta Ballet, we believe giving should reflect your life—not disrupt it. That’s why we offer a wide range of smart, flexible options for you to support our work. Whether you're early in your financial journey or actively managing an estate, there’s a way to give that aligns with your goals, your assets, and your values.
Ways to Give
Our Giving Categories:
Financial Assets
Publicly traded securities, RRSPs, RRIFs, TFSAs, and other investment vehicles can be donated directly—often with significant tax advantages.
[Learn more]Real Estate
Donating property, whether now or in the future, can create a powerful legacy and provide immediate or deferred tax relief.
[Learn more]Life Insurance
A low-cost way to make a high-impact gift. You can name Alberta Ballet as a beneficiary or transfer ownership of a policy.
[Learn more]Cryptocurrency
Digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum can be donated securely, unlocking value while avoiding capital gains tax.
[Learn more]Tangible Assets Giving (Gifts-in-Kind)
Tangible asset giving—also known as gifts-in-kind—involves donating physical items of value, such as artwork, vehicles, collectibles, or equipment. These non-cash gifts are typically sold by Alberta Ballet to support our work, and may be eligible for a tax receipt based on fair market value.
[Learn more]Cash
Traditional gifts remain essential. Whether as a one-time contribution or a monthly gift, cash provides immediate support for our artists and programs.

Each of these options comes with different advantages—and different timing. Some provide tax credits today. Others help shape your estate for tomorrow. All of them fuel the art and outreach that define Alberta Ballet.
