Canadian Philanthropy: Time for a Shake Up?

In this episode of CharityVillage Connects, we take a hard look at the evolving nature of philanthropy and the changing role of foundations in Canada, both public and private, and how they collectively manage over $120 billion in assets. Recent research shows that many Canadians – including those within the sector itself – do not really understand how charitable foundations work, how many billions in assets they are sitting on, and how decisions are made as to who does – and doesn’t – get funding. Is it time for a shakeup in how we approach philanthropy in Canada? Tune into CharityVillage Connects to find out.Meet Our Guests in Order of Appearance  John Hallward, Founder, GIV3 Andrew Chunilall, CEO, Community Foundations of Canada Jean-Marc Mangin, President & CEO, Philanthropic Foundations of Canada Mark Blumberg, Lawyer, Blumbergs Professional Corporation Paulette Senior, CEO and President, Canadian Women’s Foundation  Liz Liske, Director, Arctic Funders Collaborative Dr. Bruce Lourie, President, Ivey Foundation
