About Charitable Impact

Charitable Impact started as a bold idea and evolved quickly into an unwavering belief: everyone should have access to resources that help them build the brighter future they imagine. We provide a donor-centric giving platform, supported by a donor advised fund, that helps people amplify their generosity to create the change they want to see in the world. We simplify the giving process, allowing donors to manage all of their giving from one place, access timely tax receipts, and donate in a variety of ways including cash, publicly traded stocks, company shares, and many other options. Anyone can use it to find and give to their favourite charities from one place, give with friends and others, and get support with making their biggest impact possible. So far, Canadians across the country have donated more than $1.6 billion through our platform.

We take care of each other

Our team members enjoy competitive salaries, purposeful perks, and a culture that gives back and has fun doing it. We are proud to have been named one of Canada’s Most Admired™ Corporate Cultures of 2024. We support each other, learn from one another, and grow together. We're on an adventure to make giving an intentional and meaningful part of daily life. So, come and join us, and let's build a brighter future together.
