PhilanthroThink
The MPNL and DPNL programs regularly invite high-profile speakers and panellists to provide insights about our sector, including on our PhilanthroThink podcast series, which features philanthropic leaders, wealth creators and innovative thinkers in Canada. Below are a handful of recent videos, events and panels about vital issues in the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors and their communities. Also, watch or listen to PhilanthroThink podcasts on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. (Thank you to IG Private Wealth Management for a grant to make the PhilanthroThink podcasts possible.)
