Fiera Capital Foundation
The Fiera Capital Foundation is a public foundation (CRA registration # 84948 5321 RR0001) that provides a framework that allows you to build your legacy by creating a plan that improves the efficiency of your charitable giving.
The Fiera Capital Foundation is designed to offer a more focused and strategic approach to philanthropy, while also providing for efficient tax and estate planning.
While many generous individuals embrace the idea of creating a philanthropic legacy, most charitable giving is done without the benefit of a long-term plan. As a result, donations are typically made on an ad hoc basis. By implementing a long-term giving plan, the impact of your donations will multiply and create a powerful legacy.
