A note about charity names

The charity data we receive from the CRA is not always perfect and may not retain the charity name’s original form on our website. In rare cases, it may need to be adjusted to correct issues related to capitalization.

If you need to request a change to your charity’s name on Charitable Impact, get in touch with us, we’ll be happy to help.

Note that Charitable Impact may ask the charity to provide proof of their legal name change.

How to edit your charity page

1. On your Home screen, select the charity under Charities and companies you administer.
2. Select the charity avatar in the top-right corner.
3. Select Edit page.

From there, you can customize the information that will appear on your charity page: 

• Charity avatar/logo: This is an avatar that appears on the top left corner of your charity page. Circular images with minimum dimensions of 128px by 128 px work best. The maximum image file size is 5MB. 
• Charity information: name, phone number, website, and the address you’d like displayed on the charity page. 
  • If you wish to change the name displayed on your charity page, you can use a "Doing Business As" (DBA) name that has first been registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
  • You can make the change by selecting your DBA name from the drop-down menu under "Charity display name".
• Charity description: a brief description of your charity, and any other additional details about your charity you wish to add.
• Photos and video: 
  • Cover photo: This photo appears at the top of your charity page. The ideal dimensions are 1110px wide and 240 px tall. The maximum image file size is 5MB. 
  • Video: Add a video to your charity page by inputting a link from YouTube or Vimeo. The video will be embedded on your charity page. 
  • Photo gallery: Create a gallery of up to 10 photos. The maximum image file size is 5MB. 
• Contact person: The name and email address of a main contact at your charity you wish to display on your charity page. 
  • Notifications about account-related activities are sent to the primary email address for your Impact Account. If you’d like to receive our notifications at a different email address,  you’ll need to change the primary email of your Impact Account.
