Canada Gives, donor advised funds and endowment funds for community foundations

Canada Gives: Making your Clients' Charitable Giving Count. Today and Tomorrow.

Tax changes on donations of securities have resulted in larger gifts, and donors now want to integrate planned giving with major gifts. You can play a valuable role for your clients.

Canada Gives is a charitable foundation set up to manage  Donor Advised Funds (DAF's), an emerging donation vehicle for the committed philtanthropist.

The Canada Gives Advantage for Advisors

  • Your client can set up a DAF under the umbrella of Canada Gives in a matter of days instead of the months it can take to set up an indepenent private foundation.
  • Unlike other DAF's, ours are customized so your client is in the driver's seat.
  • Your clients expect to have their financial investments handled professionally. Their charitable dollars deserve the same.

It's Easier Than You Think

Advisors who recognize this trend and offer philanthropic services to their clients have a chance to:
  • Add and retain long-term assets by managing your client's complete financial plan
  • Offer value-added services that tap into your client's philanthropic dreams and aspirations
  • Build upon current services with minimal day-to-day responsibilities (Canada Gives' back-office "host foundation")
  • Capitalize on succession opportunities - philanthropy is often multi-generational
