Cooperate for Canada

Canadians urgently need a unified, progressive choice in the next federal election.

The Walrus Talks Shifting Power in Philanthropy in Canada

Tuesday, October 1, 7 - 9 p.m. ET

In-person AND online

Isabel Bader Theatre, 93 Charles St W, Toronto

Philanthropy makes more of an impact than we realize, and the sector is undergoing major shifts. The Great Wealth Transfer is in progress and younger generations are inheriting trillions; technology is evolving sometimes for the better and sometimes not; and new strategies for giving are reshaping the relationships between donors and charities. But there are still obstacles to funds reaching the people who need them most.
