Transforming charitable giving through visualization and tax-smart strategy. Designed for charitable organizations, financial advisors, and philanthropic donors.
Giftabulator® makes complex donation planning visible in real time, helping donors understand how much they can give, how much tax they may save, and how their gift can create greater impact.
By shifting supporters from cash donations to asset-based giving, charities, advisors, and donors can unlock a more strategic path to major and planned gifts.
Giftabulator® is a donor engagement and gift planning tool that instantly visualizes tax-efficient donation scenarios, empowering donors to maximize their charitable impact while optimizing financial outcomes. By making complex planned giving strategies more transparent and accessible, it transforms conversations between charities, advisors, and donors.
The core challenge is that traditional planned giving conversations are often opaque, time-consuming, and dependent on specialized expertise. Donors struggle to understand tax benefits, charities lack tools to illustrate scenarios in real time, and financial advisors need efficient ways to integrate philanthropy into wealth planning discussions.
Giftabulator® solves this by providing immediate, interactive visualization of giving scenarios using stocks, mutual funds, real estate, life insurance, RRSP/RRIF assets, and other vehicles. The result is a more confident donor, a better fundraising conversation, and a stronger pathway to significantly larger gifts.
Traditional planned giving remains inaccessible and inefficient for the three groups that matter most: charities, advisors, and donors.
Most donors continue giving cash simply because they do not understand the more compelling alternatives. Planned giving options remain mysterious to many supporters, and fundraisers often lack tools to model scenarios live during donor conversations.
Advisors want to integrate philanthropy into holistic wealth planning, but charitable planning is often too slow, too technical, and too difficult to illustrate in real time.
Donors often face decision paralysis. They do not know which assets to donate, how different giving vehicles compare, or how to align generosity with financial efficiency.
Giftabulator® makes smart giving visible, immediate, and easier to act on.
Giftabulator® turns planned giving from a difficult, delayed conversation into an interactive decision tool that works in real time.
Users can input asset type, value, adjusted cost base, province or territory, income level, and desired gift amount. The platform instantly calculates charitable tax credit, tax savings, net gift cost, cash comparisons, and capital gains tax avoided.
Giftabulator® helps donors see how a gift may grow over time, what annual disbursement it can support, and how it may create long-term legacy impact through endowment funding and naming opportunities.
Charities can tailor the experience with their own identity, giving priorities, impact stories, recognition thresholds, and QR-code access for meetings, events, and campaigns.
After exploring scenarios, users can generate PDF reports showing methodology, side-by-side options, next steps, and contact details for charity or advisor follow-up.
When connected to the iShare® ecosystem, Giftabulator® becomes part of a larger donor journey that blends financial clarity, immersive storytelling, AI-driven personalization, and stronger donor motivation.
A donor comparing a cash gift with an appreciated stock donation can immediately see the difference in charitable impact, tax savings, and net out-of-pocket cost, making generosity feel more achievable.
The platform creates distinct strategic value for organizations, advisors, and donors.
The economic case is not just about software cost. It is about reducing friction that prevents larger gifts from happening.
Assume a mid-sized charity with 500 active donors and $2.5M in annual revenue. If the organization improves planned gift conversion by 30% and average planned gift size by 40%, annual planned giving revenue may increase from $125,000 to $227,500.
Depending on configuration and scale, an annual investment in the platform may be offset through improved gift conversion, stronger asset-based giving, reduced manual scenario work, and a more productive planned giving pipeline.
The shift is not incremental. It changes how donors discover, understand, and act on charitable opportunities.
A donor enters through a campaign page, QR code, advisor conversation, or fundraising event and begins exploring giving possibilities.
Giftabulator® makes asset-based scenarios visible, allowing donors to compare options and understand tax-smart giving more clearly.
Through endowment modeling and optional iShare® integration, donors connect financial clarity to long-term emotional impact.
Donors export reports, contact advisors or development staff, and move toward gift commitment with greater confidence and less hesitation.
Giftabulator® does not replace expert planned giving advice for the most complex cases. It expands access to smart giving for the much larger group of donors who need clarity before they act.

Success depends on more than deployment. It depends on how well the tool is integrated into donor communication, staff confidence, and organizational process.
Giftabulator® can operate with donor anonymity by design. Users can explore scenarios without immediately sharing personal information, and organizations can introduce the tool without increasing friction at the start of the journey.
Development staff need confidence in how to introduce the tool: not as a calculator alone, but as a way to explore options together. Advisor partnerships and impact storytelling should reinforce, not compete with, the financial conversation.
Track usage, scenario completion, conversion to commitment, average gift size, share of asset-based gifts, pipeline growth, and staff confidence to understand both financial and operational return.
Pricing depends on organization size, feature requirements, and customization level.
Financial advisors may adopt Giftabulator® across their client base at an estimated range of approximately $3,000-$8,000 annually depending on scale and features.
The platform is especially relevant for organizations and advisors ready to move from generic giving conversations toward a more modern, strategic, and donor-friendly system.
Giftabulator® democratizes access to sophisticated philanthropic planning by turning complex giving strategy into an accessible and engaging experience. Charities gain stronger donor education and revenue potential, advisors deepen client relationships through values-aligned planning, and donors gain the clarity and confidence needed to act more generously.
The question is no longer whether smart giving should be visualized. The question is how quickly organizations and advisors will adopt the tools that make transformational philanthropy easier to understand and easier to achieve.
