Find charities
you believe in.

Canada has over 86,000 registered charities. Most people give to two or three they happen to know — or that happened to reach them first. CauseGlass uses the latest AI technology to help foundations and philanthropists find the organizations working on the causes they care about, in the way they want

We tend to give to the charities we’ve heard of — the ones with familiar names, or that happened to reach us at the right moment. It’s just hard to make an informed choice when there are 86,000 options and no good way to search them
