Get Started
Starting your fund
Start your fund at Toronto Foundation to reap the benefits of a private foundation without all of the administration. Our team handles all of the back office work so you can focus on your charitable granting and impact.
How does a fund work?
A fund can be like a savings account for your charitable giving, accumulating interest that you can grant (donate) to charities of your choice. Or it can be like a chequing account, offering quick access to grant as much of your balance as you want whenever you want.
I'm ready. How do I start a fund?
Our team is ready to help set up your philanthropy for maximum impact. We can get your fund started in less than a week following these steps:
- Connect with us. Let us walk you through the different fund options that can suit your needs. We can figure out the details together.
- We will put together your fund agreement.
- You sign it and then it’s done!
