About this event

What does the future of charitable giving look like? Through a series of panel discussions we will explore the struggles, politics and possibilities within the charitable sector. Drawing on the diverse voices of philanthropists and community leaders, Generous Futures aims to shed new light on equity and belonging in Canada.

What role does philanthropy play in preserving the institutions and processes that underpin our growing democracy? What are the challenges and obstacles in using charitable support for initiatives that strengthen democracy? How is the corporate sector advancing non-partisan engagement of communities and civic life? Join us for a panel discussion that will explore these questions and more.
