How to Donate Effectively and Avoid Telemarketers - Interview with John Bromley, Founder & CEO of Charitable Impact

Last year, I did a video on How to Donate Effectively, where we explored the idea that one of the ultimate status symbols is creating your own charitable foundation—and how to make a real impact with your giving.

In my latest video I interview John Bromley, the Founder and CEO of Charitable Impact, the platform we personally use to make giving easier and more effective. 

John has dedicated his career to helping Canadians maximize their impact through strategic giving. 

His company has proudly facilitated over $1.5 billion in donations, empowering tens of thousands of people to tap into their generosity, pursue their vision for change, and develop meaningful giving habits.

Beyond his work in philanthropy, John is a two-time TEDx speaker, a recipient of Business in Vancouver’s 40 Under 40 award, a soccer coach, and a doting father of two.
