This month, Canadian Family Offices is taking a deep dive into Canadian philanthropy. Why are average Canadians giving less? Why are wealthy Canadians giving more?
Should fast-growing DAFs be regulated? And should family foundations spend down their reserves and do some concentrated good?
To help sharpen our coverage all year-round, we need to know more about how wealthy Canadians give and why. Whether you are a donor, an advisor or involved with a charitable family foundation, we encourage you to take our short anonymous survey. You will be making a valuable contribution to the understanding of family offices and philanthropy.
And while you’re here, consider attending our online expert panel at 1 p.m. on Feb. 26. Titled “Who Will Give? Philanthropy and the Next Gen,” it will explore the challenges and opportunities around philanthropy and the next generation of enterprising families, featuring Dr. Sharilyn Hale, principal, Watermark Philanthropic Counsel; Ron Bernbaum, CEO and founder of PearTree Canada; Julie Quenneville, CEO of the UHN Foundation, and Danielle Robinson, national director, philanthropic advisory services, BMO. The discussion is free to attend, and you can register online here.
