Ensure personal wealth goals are shared throughout generations
We work with families and help you with your foundation goals. A private foundation is the most highly structured and personal form of long-term giving, and the best suited for strategic philanthropy. We can provide assistance with all related tasks, including CRA charity returns, meeting preparations, recipient charities and tax compliance issues.
If you want to give back in a significant way and create a legacy this program lets you contribute to a donor advised fund administered by the Charitable Gift Funds Canada Foundation* and managed by BMO Private Investment Counsel Inc. or BMO Nesbitt Burns.
The BMO Charitable Giving Program gives you flexibility in how you manage and execute your charitable giving strategy in a cost-effective manner. You save time because you leave all the administrative responsibilities to the Program’s charitable partner, Gift Funds Canada. You’re relieved from the responsibilities of managing, reporting and making distributions to your qualified charitable beneficiaries.
