The charitable sector is facing extraordinary uncertainty in the face of the COVID-19 crisis. Charities and non-profits saw their balance sheets battered in the early weeks of the pandemic as many cash-strapped Canadians were forced to scale back their usual generosity and conserve as much cash as possible. But despite being forced to manage in […]
In a recent blog we highlighted many of the advantages of establishing a Canada Gives Foundation account—as well as the benefits of maintaining longstanding relationships with charities, as so many of our donor clients do—in this time of crisis. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to escalate, charities will need support more than ever. Foundations are […]
How the world has changed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. We’ve gone from record stock market highs to catastrophic lows. We’ve seen near-full employment replaced by twenty-fold year-over-year EI applications. Domestic and international business has ground to a halt to prevent further global spread of the illness. And yet, through it all, we’re seeing […]

They want to make the world a better place and leave a lasting legacy that puts their wealth to good use improving the lives of others. Their vision is as inspiring as it […]
Maybe it’s the turkey. Or the opportunity for family togetherness. Or maybe it’s a combination of the two (we’ll even credit the mash, gravy and dressing for good measure), but there’s a reason why Thanskgiving is one of the most popular holidays on the calendar. Here’s one more: it’s also an ideal opportunity to inject […]
When Hurricane Dorian bore down on the Bahamas over the Labour Day weekend, forecasters warned of a potentially catastrophic storm. Their predictions proved terrifyingly accurate. The category five cyclone—which many outlets reported would have been categorized as a six if the hurricane rating system allowed—ravaged the Bahamas’ Abacos chain. To date, dozens have been […]
The joys of philanthropy become obvious almost the minute you begin giving.
