EquiGenesis

The Leader in Tax Saving Solutions

Giving Back

At EquiGenesis, we believe that a corporation’s responsibility is both to its clients and society. Our tax saving solutions maintain a longstanding history of providing meaningful societal contributions through charitable giving.

Since 2003, EquiGenesis has facilitated donations in excess of $100 million to over 200 Canadian registered charities, through our programs.

How The SMART Savings Plan™ Incentivizes Philanthropy Through Tax Savings

At the conclusion of their 10 year term, clients of the SMART Savings Plan™ are granted the unique ability to allocate a meaningful portion of capital to a Canadian registered charity of their choice at no out-of-pocket cost.

The individual charitable donation, which typically exceeds $100,000, is provided in the client’s name.

This charitable giving component of their Plan continues our well established tradition of incorporating philanthropic giving as an important aspect of our tax saving solutions.
