Like a bank account for your charitable giving

With an Impact Account, you can :

Donor advised fund

The donor-advised fund for everyone

Charitable Impact operates as a donor-advised fund. In short, this means you can manage all of your charitable giving from a single account, which we call the Impact Account.

When you add money to your Impact Account, you're actually making a donation to CHIMP: Charitable Impact Foundation (Canada), a registered charity and public foundation. It's why you get a tax receipt after adding money. The funds you add stay in your account until you decide you'd like to send gifts to charities, Giving Groups, and other people on Charitable Impact.

An Impact Account offers you the time and space to think about the change you want to make in the world, give joyfully, and say 'no' to fundraising requests peacefully.

You can give to charities and Giving Groups with full recognition or without sharing your name and contact details.

Give together

With a Giving Group, multiple people can combine forces, pool or raise money, and support one or more charities together.

Send friends charitable dollars that they can give away

From birthday presents, to children's allowances, to "thank you" gifts, sending charitable dollars to friends and family is a great way to inspire those around you to give.

Inspiring the next generation

Nurturing generosity in your kids starts early. Studies show that 2 out of 3 Canadians who actively give to charities today were introduced to giving at a young age.

Charitable Impact’s programs, like Charitable Allowance and Play Better, help kids and teens understand the importance of giving and how their decisions and actions can create change.

At home

The Charitable Allowance program lets you inspire generosity at home. With a monthly allowance for giving, your kids can explore causes they care about and decide where to make an impact. With your guidance, they can practice giving while learning important life skills and values.

At play

The Play Better program for sports encourages coaches and parents to use charitable rewards to change the game of youth sports. This program rewards players with charitable dollars when they reach training goals set by themselves and their coaches.
