Give Through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
Support the Future of Canada’s Dance Community
Dancer: Marine Rixhon
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is one of the fastest-growing and most flexible ways to support charitable causes in Canada. Through a DAF, you can make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax receipt, and then recommend grants to registered charities like the DTRC over time. DAFs are administered by public foundations and charitable organizations that help donors manage their philanthropy while supporting the causes they care about most.
When you recommend a grant to DTRC through your DAF, you are helping professional dancers across Canada access career development and transition services, counselling, learning programs, mentorship, and resources that improve wellbeing, resilience, and long-term success.
Why Consider a Donor-Advised Fund?
Many donors choose a DAF because it allows them to:
- Support charities they care about in a simple and efficient way.
- Create a long-term charitable giving strategy.
- Involve family members in philanthropy and legacy planning.
- Recommend grants to multiple charities over time.
- Make gifts of cash, securities, or other assets.
- Receive an immediate charitable tax receipt when contributions are made to the fund.
Why Support DTRC?
Since 1985, DTRC has helped professional dancers navigate career development and transitions, enabling them to succeed throughout their careers and beyond. Through innovative programs and national services, DTRC supports dancers into, within, and from performance careers.
Your support can help:
- Expand access to counselling services.
- Deliver career development, mentorship, and learning programs.
- Support dancers facing career challenges.
- Create equitable access to resources and opportunities.
- Strengthen the long-term health of Canada’s dance ecosystem.
