Granting From Your Account

Canada Gives will continually manage your charitable giving account so that you can use your time and resources for selecting and supporting the charities receiving your grants. 

Investment Management

If you would like to include your own portfolio manager / financial advisor in the investment management of your Foundation account, we are pleased to work together with the people you trust provided they can work within our investment policy & goals. If you do not have an investment manager arrangement, you may select from our list of qualified investment managers/dealers. (click here for list)
 

Reporting

Canada Gives will provide regular consolidated reporting to you. Your report has two components - "Business" and "Granting."  The "Business" portion includes a listing of your donations, disposition gains and losses, investment gains and losses, fees and details of the investment portfolio (if applicable). The "Granting" portion provides you with both the minimum and maximum amount of funds available to grant each year, as well as a summary of the charities you have selected and the amounts they have received from your account. View our sample report - "Complete Foundation Reporting at-a-Glance".

Be Connected.

Canada Gives will also provide you with an analysis of the charities you support on all of your reports, in the section titled "Your Charitable Giving Profile." You will be able to view (by current year and since inception) the not-for-profit sectors that your social capital supports
