Peartree Financial Services Ltd. Information

Since 2007, PearTree Financial has played an important role in helping charitable donors in Canada increase and accelerate their giving by capitalizing on federal and provincial income tax policies intended to bolster the fundraising of registered Canadian charities and to stimulate activity in the natural resource sector of the Canadian economy. Since its inception, PearTree's structured financings have facilitated over $1 billion in flow through share subscriptions for donation purposes, helping charities raise more money by significantly reducing donors’ after tax cost of giving. Both charities and the resource sector have discovered an otherwise elusive source of capital to allow their operations to continue on their path to job-creating success. The net result of these activities has been of significant economic and social benefit to Canada. While fully complying with amendments in the June 2011 Federal Budget, PearTree has successfully structured the flow through transaction to bring the after-tax cost of giving down to less than 20% in all provinces and less than 5% in Quebec. PearTree is the originator and leading provider of flow through share donations in Canada. PearTree provides a seamless, easy and efficient turnkey service for charities without increasing fundraising costs. Flow through donation financing has benefited junior resource exploration operating in many remote regions of the country. The net result of our flow through financing activity is of significant social benefit to Canada.
