Charitable Giving Comparison

Whether you are an individual, business, foundation or Trust, using a Charity Fund has numerous advantages, while keeping it simple.

While there is more than one way to give to Canadian charities, we believe that a “Charity Fund” is the perfect mixture of direct giving and foundations, enabling long term giving and planning without the high costs and administrative effort required for a private foundation or trust.
