Charitable Impact is an amazing partner and I am thrilled to work closely with them in advancing all forms of charitable giving and building a foundation for life-long community support.

Shay Keil
Scotia Wealth Management
Charitable giving is an extremely important part of the overall planning process. It provides a positive tax-effective outcome to current income, it can make a substantial difference in the client’s final estate, and it also helps bring families together with a focus on a common set of values and preferences. Charitable giving strategies help families, on a multi-generational basis, see the world as a place much bigger than just themselves and their own local communities. We love doing this important work together with our clients.
