Donor Services

An "average" donor does not exist. Each presents a unique set of passions, interests and needs. 

For donors looking for information beyond our public website, we offer tailored charity analysis customized to meet the unique needs of individuals, private foundations and corporations. 

Our insights and analysis will help you refine and personalize your giving so you can feel comfortable and informed about your decisions. Ci helps make it easier for you to make the most of your generosity. We can do part, or all, of the homework so you don't have to. Our commitment is to work beside you, listen to your needs and provide you with the highest level of customized solutions that best meet your interests. Helping donors is why we're here. 

Ci offers a wide range of advisory services tailored to meet your needs:

Which charities should I give to?

Canada's charitable giving landscape is vast with over 86,000 registered charities. Canadian fundraising has become a sophisticated profession and today is a $3 billion industry. Yet the majority of donors act alone in their giving. 

For those of us who are deeply committed to philanthropy, how can we sort through the overwhelming number of "asks" from so many charities, how can we be more constructive in our engagement with charities, and how can we give for greater impact? 

Charity Intelligence sees giving as an investment towards a better Canada. Our innovative approach researches and analyzes Canadian charities, providing customized research to better manage giving and achieve greater impact. 

Canadian donors increasingly have questions and are asking for more information about their giving. We believe your giving is worth it. If you would like help, please call us at 416-363-1555. 

"Unexpectedly I was tasked with finding charities to execute a six-figure bequest. Finding Charity Intelligence and its research reports was a terrific step toward identifying charities where donations would make a significant impact. Kate Bahen, Managing Director of Ci, was unstinting in giving me her time, experience, and knowledge of individual charities. She expanded on the information provided in the charity reports of specific interest to me. I am enormously grateful for the assistance which directly led to effective donations which I am proud to have facilitated. Anyone who wishes to make an impact with their charitable giving would, in my opinion, be well-advised to take advantage of Ci's website with its broad range of information." 

Your giving is significant. Your generosity is worth it.
