GRANTS
Working as a "donor advised fund," CarbonFlip distributes
grants through the Makeway Foundation. This enables it to issue
tax receipts to donors and to donate more than $50,000 per
year to organizations working in the field of climate action. Only
Canadian registered charities can receive grants from
CarbonFlip. However, in many cases, eligible non-profit
organizations can work with a registered charity.
