Accepted payment methods

You can add money to your Impact Account in different ways to facilitate your charitable giving. If you already have an Impact Account, you can add money using any of the options outlined below.

If you don't have an Impact Account, you can still support charitable causes through Charitable Impact. Learn to give without an Impact Account.

1. Credit cards and Apple Pay/Google Pay

One of the easiest ways to add money to your Impact Account is by credit card. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.

If you're using the iOS app, you can also add money through Apple Pay. If you're using the Android app, you can also add money through Google Pay. Charges will appear as "CHARITABLE IMPACT" on your credit card statement. 

The minimum and maximum amounts per transaction that you can add to your Impact Account by credit card are outlined below. There is no minimum account balance that you need to maintain, and no maximum limit.

2. Pre-authorized debit

You can use pre-authorized debit (PAD) to add money to your Impact Account once*, or on a monthly basis.

Complete the pre-authorized debit form.

*For all one-time PAD donations, a minimum of $200 is required. For amounts less than $200, please add money to your Impact Account by credit card.

If you wish to edit or cancel a PAD transfer, email hello@charitableimpact.com. Please provide 7 days notice.

3. Cheque

You can also send a cheque to add money to your Impact Account.

Complete the Add Money by Cheque form and include it with your cheque. Address the cheque to CHIMP: Charitable Impact Foundation (Canada).

Please mail the completed form and your cheque to:

CHIMP: Charitable Impact Foundation (Canada)

4. Another donor-advised fund (DAF)

You can transfer money from another donor-advised fund into your Impact Account. To do this, ask your DAF provider to recommend a grant to CHIMP: Charitable Impact Foundation (Canada).

When submitting the recommendation, include your email address and a note requesting that the money be added to your Impact Account.

In-kind transfers between donor-advised funds are not available or supported by all DAF providers. If you have questions about transferring in-kind assets from another DAF, please contact us at philanthropy@charitableimpact.com or call 877-531-0580.
