5. Make a grant from the Impact Account
When your client is ready, they can grant any amount of their Impact Account balance to:
One or many of the 86,000+ Canadian registered charities
Other qualified donees, including registered Canadian amateur athletic associations, journalism organizations, Canadian municipalities, and more
Giving Groups, which are communities who combine forces by pooling money and fundraising for causes that matter most to them
Other Impact Accounts, which creates opportunities for others to engage in and learn about giving
Reminder: Your clients will not receive another tax receipt when a grant is made. A grant is simply an allocation of charitable dollars which have already been tax receipted. Tax receipts are only issued on new donations made to CHIMP: Charitable Impact Foundation (Canada).
