The percentage of Canadians who give to charity has been declining for years, and many wealthy individuals don’t donate. Philanthropy in the US seems to be in a better state, and Americans give at higher rates than Canadians. The differences aren’t due solely to differences in tax incentives. What can we learn from the way that philanthropy works in the US? How could Canadians do better, and what would that take?
A discussion with:
Mike Pedersen, Chair, Business Development Bank of Canada; former President and CEO, TD Bank, US; driving force behind The Personal Philanthropy Project at Imagine Canada.
Patrick Rooney, Executive Associate Dean; Professor of Economics and Philanthropic Studies, Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, IUPUI, Indianapolis, US.
Moderated by Susan Phillips, Professor, MPNL program, School of Public Policy and Administration, Carleton University.
