As the son of a pioneering expert in charity law, John Bromley had a ready opportunity to pivot into the space after leaving behind an early career in corporate finance. That was how he developed a thorough understanding of the complexities of the charitable sector – and a vision of how much simpler it could be.
“Life teaches me that everyone can be a donor, but maybe two or three out of 100 will need to actually create a charity for themselves to carry out their charitable activities,” says Bromley.
Working with his father, Bromley saw firsthand the difficulty and expense of planning and setting up a private foundation to help people manage their charitable giving. At the same time, it was clear how beneficial it was for people to have their own tool just for giving management. In other words, he knew that giving to existing charities wasn’t an optimal solution for many donors who wanted to make a difference with their dollars.
The solution he came up with lies somewhere in between. Today, he’s the CEO of Charitable Impact, a tech platform he founded to make it easier for people and corporations to engage in and manage their charitable giving simply and strategically.
“With Charitable Impact, anyone can create a donor-advised fund, which is like a bank account for charitable giving, for free and in just a few minutes,” Bromley says. “You can load money into it immediately with a gift off your credit card. With the help of a financial professional like a wealth manager, you can also load it with other assets. Either way, you get an immediate tax receipt for the value of the donation.”
Thanks to a change to the Income Tax Act promulgated in the 2000s, Canadians can donate publicly traded securities to charity, and the government will not tax the capital gains on those assets. That means publicly traded securities that have appreciated in value are the most tax-efficient asset to donate in Canada – and wealth managers have a key role to play.
With books of business that can include hundreds of families, wealth managers are potentially capable of directing vast sums of investment assets to the benefit of whatever charitable cause their clients want to focus on giving to. The challenge, according to Bromley, is that they traditionally haven’t had a partner organization that they could trust to deliver the same level of flexibility and customer support that clients are accustomed to with wealth management firms.
“Nobody is coming to them with an experienced, sophisticated service that makes it easy for them to help with their client’s charitable giving,” he says.
Charitable Impact is changing that. Today, it has partnerships with firms and practices across Canada, allowing them to link their existing wealth management platforms with Charitable Impact’s. That allows them to keep their clients’ charitable assets within their books, while Charitable Impact takes care of the heavy lifting of administration and paperwork in a scalable, cost-effective way.
“Our platform enables them to manage those donated assets, at least until the clients decide where they want to donate their assets, and that’s usually something that happens over time,” Bromley says. “We see a blue ocean opportunity to engage with wealth managers on charitable giving … In our view, there are no more excuses to not help clients with this.”
“Now, we have much more frequent recognition awards because we want to celebrate people staying at CAAT and recognize the contributions that they bring to the organization”
