Canada Gives: Helping Donors Make a Lasting Difference

As a donor, our greatest value lies in helping you create a charitable giving plan that will ultimately increase the impact on and the value to the recipient charity. A Canada Gives account enables you to combine immediate gifts with a long-term endowment to make a real difference.


Canada Gives: Simplifies Charitable Giving

  • Create an endowment that provides significant gifts year (remove s) over year
  • Make a large gift to establish the endowment, or create a major gifting strategy that builds an endowment over time
  • Customize every donation – allocate a portion as a one-time gift and provide immediate funding, and a portion as an endowment gift, to grow your long-term funding capability
  • Easy to donate shares, mutual funds, cash and gifts of insurance to your Canada Gives account
