Podcast By IMAGINE Canada -  Shifting power dynamics

What are charities and nonprofits doing to advance equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) within their organizations? In this episode, they dig into the findings from a new study which provides key insights into our sector’s commitment to EDI. The survey explores areas such as how organizations are integrating EDI into their work, the role of equity working groups in advancing EDI, the factors that enable and hinder organizations as they seek to apply EDI principles, and the role of leadership in advancing EDI. 

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs): What Your Organizations Needs to Know

The rise of donor-advised funds (DAFs) in recent years has been undeniable, but data about these funds, and practical resources for charities looking to maximize their potential, has been sorely lacking. To address this gap, KCI and the CAGP Foundation recently released a report focused on this rapidly growing giving vehicle, which examined DAFs from the perspective of all sector participants, including donors, financial advisors, and, importantly, the thousands of charities in Canada that, together, receive over $1 billion in funding from DAFs annually. 

In this free webinar, join Celeste Bannon Waterman, Partner at KCI, as she presents key findings from this report including the basic elements of donor-advised funds, current regulatory frameworks and the estimated size of this growing pool of funds in Canada. This session will also bring a particular focus to understanding the motivations and interests of donors who use DAFs, and how fundraisers and nonprofit leaders can enhance their practices and approaches to attract and retain these highly motivated and philanthropic donors.
