Out of curiosity while I was surfing the net.
The idea of flow-through stock donation (FTSD) often at a premium to market value of a stock.
Not only for mining companies, but renewable energy developers in Canada.
The issuing companies don't have to pay commission nor finders fees.
A properly structured FTSD gifting arrangement can not only benefit Canada’s economy and Northern and Aboriginal communities by increasing investments in mining, oil and gas, renewable energy and energy conservation industries, but can also benefit the charitable sector and help Canadian philanthropists multiply the impact of their donations, by giving more, while maintaining or reducing their after-tax cost of giving.
