Managing Director, Charitable Impact

The Veritas Foundation

About the Veritas Foundation

The Veritas Foundation exists to strengthen Canadian philanthropy by combining rigorous financial analysis with a passion for positive impact. We are a registered public foundation managing the Veritas Foundation Giving Fund, a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) that empowers donors to give with insight and confidence.

Our roots are in capital markets. Founded by the team behind Veritas Investment Research, Canada's leading independent equity research firm, we bring a research-first mindset to the charitable sector. We provide objective Charity Reviews and Ratings on over 56,000 registered Canadian charities, publish sector insights, and celebrate the country's fastest-growing charities through our annual Veritas500 Awards. We believe giving should be data-informed, transparent, and transformative—for donors and recipients alike.
