What is a GIVE Fund?
Think of a GIVE Fund as your own personalized charity bank account. The funds that you, your friends and family, or others in your network deposit into your GIVE Fund account can be used to support ANY registered charity in Canada. All donations made into your account are tax deductible. Your GIVE Fund can be used for short-term donations (you have a project you want to support right away) or for longer-term planning (tax planning, family legacy building, relationship management with partner organizations).
The funds on this page have been set up by people JUST LIKE YOU! Take look-see at what others are up to. Get inspired. Donate to one of their funds, or set up your own.

Funds will be used to help improve operational efficiencies of arts-based organizations so that they can increase their market share, support marginalized populations to access arts and cultural experiences as well as develop unique experiences around Canada's music industry. Working with local umbrella arts organizations, funding decisions are made to meet the areas of greatest need within that community.
Social services funding supports organizations addressing Domestic Violence, Social Justice, and Women's Rights.
Research funding is being directed towards Post-Secondary institutions around Physical Literacy and Physical Wellness.
Museum funding is project specific and varies from general operations to programming.
