Kbf Canada Information

KBF CANADA was established at the initiative of the Brussels-based King Baudouin Foundation. We work with Canadian donors to manage charitable projects in the United States, Africa, Asia, Europe, Central America and Latin America. We are registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as a charitable organization and oversee charitable projects abroad. We craft personalized solutions for one-time gifts or recurring donations through Donor Advised Funds. We provide the due diligence and oversight that charitable projects require in order for donors to receive charitable tax receipts for their gifts. The way in which projects are carried out and donations are spent is tightly controlled and monitored, and is governed by two priorities: have a clear and concrete impact, and minimize management fees as much as possible. KBF CANADA is a member of the “Myriad Alliance for Borderless Giving” which was developed in response to the substantial obstacles presented by international giving. With offices in Canada, the US, Europe, Asia Australia and New Zealand, Myriad unlocks the potential of charitable giving and international solidarity – from anywhere, to anywhere. KBF CANADA has access to a strong international network and extensive practical expertise and knowledge as a result of 44 years of relationships built through the KBF family. The King Baudouin Foundation based in Brussels was set up in 1976 and currently holds $2 billion in endowment and donor-advised funds and has an annual operating budget of approximately $150 million. Our shared values are independence, integrity and transparency, diversity and international solidarity.
