At GiveWise, we believe in enabling Canadians to give from their wealth, not just their wallet.
Why? Because over 85% of Canadian wealth isn’t in cash*. It’s in real estate, business holdings, investments, and other non-liquid assets.
And yet, most charities only offer traditional donation methods like credit card or cheque.
That gap is costing the sector millions in missed donations.
Many generous Canadians want to give non-cash gifts like publicly traded securities, crypto, or Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) grants. But too often, they don’t know how. Or they assume your organization can’t receive them. On the flip side, many charities want to accept these gifts but feel overwhelmed by the complexity or unsure how to start.
From small grassroots organizations to large national charities — we work with you. You can unlock these gifts without adding more to your plate.
That’s where GiveWise’s digital tools and support can help.
At GiveWise, we’ve created a tool called GiveGenius — a simple button you can add to your website that unlocks what we call “Other Ways to Give.”
It works like this:
- A donor clicks the GiveGenius button
- They choose to give shares, mutual funds, crypto, or from a DAF
- We handle the complexity, you get the funds (and donor details) without lifting a finger
No new platforms to learn. Just more ways for your donors to give.
Real examples of gifts unlocked through GiveGenius:
- A stock donation to a local community foundation
- A DAF transfer from a family Giving Fund to a church outreach program
- A crypto donation from a tech entrepreneur to a food bank
