Last week, Jessica Alina Rayne had the opportunity to meet inspiring early-stage entrepreneurs, each bringing unique innovations to the table at the Startup Canada Kitchener-Waterloo event. She connected with startups working on breakthroughs in food, bioenergy, and tech industries, including apps integrating AI designed to support children with intellectual disabilities. The range of ideas was inspiring, and so were the conversations. Many were passionate about giving back, already contributing in-kind services to their communities or planning how their organizations will make a positive impact. At GiveWise, we’re excited to support these purpose-led entrepreneurs by empowering people to raise funds and drive meaningful, charitable impact.

As the year draws to a close, many of us reflect on our charitable giving—where we’ve donated, how much we’ve contributed, and whether we’ve met our goals. In our latest blog, GiveWise Executive Director Tammy Kyte shares how she and Dan Kyte have used their GiveWise Fund to simplify this process. For years, they’ve been able to track every donation with ease, without the hassle of searching for receipts or wondering if they’ve met their targets. It’s more than just organization. Tammy explains how having a Giving Fund means there’s always money set aside when someone asks for support—whether it’s a fundraiser or a friend’s cause—so they’re always ready to give generously. The flexibility and real-time insight into their impact helps them stay aligned with the causes they care about. Tammy also explores why Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are powerful tools and shares key questions to consider when choosing a DAF provider. Ready to simplify your giving and maximize your impact?
