What subscribers are saying about CharityCAN

"CharityCan has proven to be an invaluable resource for The Royal Conservatory’s development department. It offers an unparalleled breadth and depth of up-to-date information about Canadian charitable giving, providing access to key databases such as NOZA, the CRA’s T3010 data, the corporate director search, and the Canadian Who’s Who. Its integrated search feature is also an incredible time-saver. CharityCan is now the starting point for every prospect research project I undertake."

Danielle Taylor, Development Researcher, The Royal Conservatory

"Through our account at Charity Can, with the click of a mouse, we can research a cause, a person or an organization and drill down to find comprehensive, factual information on any or all Canadian registered charities. This scan and drill approach has been very useful to me and my colleagues at the Donner Canadian Foundation.

It saves us a great deal of time."

Helen McLean, Executive Director, Donner Canadian Foundation

"CharityCan provides access to all Canadian registered charities (large or small) and all foundation officer affiliations (past or present) as well as individual donation history through Noza Canada. Not only can I research donor prospects, but I can provide analytical reports on non-profit competitors. Being in a sole prospect research shop, I find CharityCan to be extremely efficient in pulling information that I can transfer to an Excel sheet to view or print. CharityCan is easy to search and navigate, and search results are easy to read and in a good-to-go report format. No hassle one stop shopping!"

Ana P. D'Avila, Advancement Researcher, Canadian Institute for Advanced Research

"CharityCan is an essential resource for Canadian prospect researchers, and provides a suite of resources useful to research shops both big and small. At the University of Toronto, we make regular use of the Noza Canada, Elections Canada and Corporate Director databases, and are looking forward to CharityCan’s continued growth towards becoming a 'one stop shop' for Canadian fundraising research."

John Hermans, Director, Advancement Research, University of Toronto

Finally, a one-stop-shop to find information on individuals, foundations, and corporations (and very reasonably priced). This resource (CharityCan) has been invaluable to me over the past year, and will be even more so over the coming year as my organization enters into a capital campaign.

Christine Thompson, CFRE, Manager, Major Gifts, Eva Initiatives, Toronto

CharityCan is often the first resource I go to. While I typically start with an Integrated Search, I also love the links within each search that allow me to quickly cross-check for additional information on the person, foundation, corporation or charitable organization I am interested in. Another plus is the prompt and excellent assistance CharityCan’s staff provides.

Janet Speers, Prospect Researcher, The Mustard Seed, Calgary
