How it works
Set up your free Impact Account in minutes and start creating the brighter future you imagine.
1. Make a Deposit
Add money to your Impact Account, get an instant tax receipt, and take as much time as you need to decide where to direct your support—no pressure, no deadlines. Get started by adding as little as $5 dollars.
2. Make a Plan
When you give strategically, you maximize your impact. Explore causes that are meaningful to you, discover new charities, and plan ahead to make your charitable giving go further.
3. Make a Difference
Grant funds to charities and Giving Groups, set up monthly gifts, send charitable dollars to loved ones, or keep adding—when inspiration or crisis strikes, you'll have the funds to help.
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 give to charities, support Giving Groups, and send charitable dollars to other people on Charitable Impact.
Because giving back should be simple
Track & organize
Tax receipts are conveniently and securely stored in your Impact Account. Each gift becomes part of your giving history, allowing you to track your donations.
Control your privacy
Choose to give anonymously and stay off mailing lists. You control whether to share or hide your contact info.
Reduce charity admin costs
Charitable Impact issues automatic tax receipts so charities don’t have to, reducing administrative costs and freeing up time to focus more on their cause and less on paperwork.
Give with confidence & security
We use the same security and encryption as online banks to keep your information safe and protect your privacy.
You change the world, we make it easier
Set up auto-deposits
Set up monthly deposits into your Impact Account. When inspiration or crisis strikes, you’ll be ready to make an impact.
Send gifts to loved ones
