Why the Mackenzie Charitable Giving Program?
1. Tax efficiency: Donors will receive a tax receipt for their donation, which they can apply against other income tax liabilities.
2. Low-cost: Compared to a private foundation, the Mackenzie Charitable Giving Program is an inexpensive approach to managing a sizeable gift.
3. Flexibility: The donor may recommend grants to any number of eligible charities or other institutions each year, with minimum grants of $250.
4. Convenience: The program simplifies the donor’s charitable giving experience by handling administrative tasks for each account.
5. Lasting legacy: Clients can name their account to honour a family member or cause. When a grant is made, the account’s name is cited as the donor.
