At PearTree Financial Services, we accelerate and increase giving by substantially reducing the after tax cost of donation. This is achieved through a prearranged series of transactions whereby donors subscribe to flow through shares which are donated and immediately monetized for the charity. The share subscription, donation and charity sale are all co-ordinated by PearTree and completed over the course of a day. The charity is in funds on closing equal to the donor pledge.
In Canada, flow through share donations have evolved into a proven and powerful philanthropic tool. The after-tax cost of giving on a $100,000 gift is reduced, ranging from 16% in Québec to 40% in Ontario
