We are engaging donors in new and innovative ways to make giving an intentional and joyful part of daily life for everyone,” said John Bromley, Founder and CEO of Charitable Impact. “We are proud to be recognized by the FinTech and Finance community among these leading companies”.
Charitable Impact is a charity registered as a public foundation and operates as a donor-advised fund, which means people can manage their giving and support all their favourite charities from a single account. Just like an online bank account for charitable giving, an Impact Account helps people find and give to all their favourite charities from one place, take the time they need to plan their giving, connect with others who are creating change, and get help with making the biggest impact possible. Moreover, people can make non-cash donations of securities, real estate and even cryptocurrency. Indeed, Charitable Impact processed the first known donation of cryptocurrency to a Canadian DAF in late 2017.
