The Right Philanthropic Investment Tool

Posted May 30th, 2008 by Gena Rotstein

I was recently asked what the best philanthropic tool is for Tools distributing funds to chosen charities. My response to the individual was that it depends on what your needs are and how much you want to donate in a year. Below is a chart that might help with the decision making process. Please note, these categories apply to Canada ONLY. There are different benefits and tools available to Americans and I am unsure of what is available overseas. If you are living outside of North America, please share with everyone your information.
