Throughout February, we’ve focused on the changing face of philanthropy in Canada, taking a closer look at evolving trends in charitable giving, from shifting gender dynamics to the challenges and opportunities presented by generational wealth transfer.
On Feb. 21, we’re continuing our special report coverage with a panel discussion featuring experts in the family office and philanthropy space. Topics and questions will include:
- How is philanthropy changing?
- Will the next generation step up to the philanthropic plate? And if so, how might their priorities differ?
- Tax strategies to prioritize giving, plus leaving more money in your pocket.
- DAFs, flow-through shares and other tax efficient vehicles.
To ask questions in advance, you can do so upon registration. Or you can reach out to Canadian Family Offices via LinkedIn.
Our panelists:
Ron Bernbaum, CEO, PearTree Canada
Aneil Gokhale, Director of Philanthropy, Toronto Foundation
Karen Sparks, Director, Philanthropic Advisory Services, BMO Private Wealth
David Ohayon, Philanthropic Advisor, JCF Montreal
Nadia Wendowsky, Vice President, Leadership and Corporate Giving, Canadian Cancer Society
