About Place2Give

Place2Give is the matchmaker between donors and charities. Much like dating, you need to know that the donor relationship is the right fit; matching passion, objectives, and values to the issues that are important to you. Place2Give focuses on the impact and the relationships with and between donors and charitable recipients. Our team reaches out to all charities that our donors support, or want to support, to get up-to-date information on funded projects and supports donors in finding the right top-tier charity to include in their giving portfolio. 

They assess impact in one of three ways: number of people or targeted issue supported (short-term), depth of change that occurred within an organization (capacity and operational effectiveness) or depth of change that has occurred within a system (multi-year, multi-layered funding projects).

Unlike other foundations, we believe that funds should be deployed into the charitable sector in a reasonable time frame at a reasonable cost.  There are two types of funds at Place2Give – Endowments that are held for long periods of time, accruing interest in order to generate larger amounts of money out into the charitable sector over a longer period of time; and Flow-Throughs that allow for more period and short-term giving. In both cases, donors receive bespoke advising and support as well as reports on the social impact that their funds are having in the communities that they support and the issue areas that are being addressed.

Your philanthropy account is specifically designed to meet your charitable objectives. It is a very simple process. When you open an account with Place2Give Foundation you are contracting P2G to manage the back-end of all your philanthropic activities. For more information and the legal details of the P2G Gift Acceptance Policy please click here. 

Your fund will be given a public page on the Place2Give website and you can advise the Foundation on which registered charities in Canada you would like to support, or if you want to create a unique giving portfolio one of our staff can meet with you (and your family) to help guide you through what goes into a giving portfolio. Once your fund has been established you are good to go! You will be provided with a unique URL that you can share with your friends and family for them to support your favourite charities or you can keep it completely anonymous and direct your own resources into the fund. Either way your philanthropy account will be activated and funds disbursed as you instruct.
