On a warm spring afternoon in Toronto recently, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s welcomed 85 alumni to a Celebrating Women as Philanthropists event. The intent was to spark conversation about what influences women카지노 게임 컬렉션s decision-making regarding philanthropy.
Sponsored by TD Canada and hosted by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Board of Trustees Chair Barbara Palk, Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션73, the event highlighted a new report from TD Wealth, called 카지노 게임 컬렉션Time, Treasure and Talent, Canadian Women and Philanthropy카지노 게임 컬렉션 which was presented by Jo-Anne Ryan, Vice-President, Philanthropic Advisory Services at TD Waterhouse Canada. Among the report카지노 게임 컬렉션s sometimes unexpected findings:
- Over the past five years, the number of female donors in Canada has greatly exceeded that of male donors
- Women are more likely than men to research and become engaged with a charity, often through volunteering, before deciding to support it
- Canadian female donors distribute their support to fewer charities but with a larger donation than male donors, so they can have a greater impact
- Affluent women are nearly twice as likely as men to say that charitable giving is the most satisfying part of having wealth
A convergence of women from across the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s spectrum 카지노 게임 컬렉션 including deans, university leaders, faculty, staff, students, members of the Board of Trustees, 카지노게임사이트 Council, the Grant Hall and Royal Legacy Societies, leaders from the Alumni and Student Alumni Associations and the Ban Righ Foundation 카지노 게임 컬렉션 the audience engaged with each other and with the panelists, who brought a diversity of perspectives and expertise spanning multiple decades.
In a spirited discussion moderated by former Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s staff member Alison Holt, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션87, they spoke candidly about their reasons for becoming involved in philanthropy, what it has meant to them, lessons learned, and their vision for the future role of women in this area. Topics ranged from philanthropy in Africa to the importance of good governance, and the trap of the 카지노 게임 컬렉션cost per dollar raised카지노 게임 컬렉션 as a criterion for choosing which charities to support.
Amma Bonsu, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션03, a winner of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 Alumni Association Humanitarian Award, credited her Ghanian grandmother as an important role model in giving. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I have been a huge recipient of others카지노 게임 컬렉션 help,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she said, acknowledging the Ban Righ Centre카지노 게임 컬렉션s invaluable support during her years at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We are part of a cycle of women giving back. We don카지노 게임 컬렉션t need to wait for wealth to come before starting to return the favour.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Noting the increasing percentage of women on charity boards, former Grant Hall Society Chair and Trustee Katie Macmillan, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션78, urged audience members to 카지노 게임 컬렉션step forward confidently in leadership positions. We must get past the idea that 카지노 게임 컬렉션women카지노 게임 컬렉션s work카지노 게임 컬렉션 is restricted to galas and bake sales,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she said.
Anne Raymond, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션88, currently V-P of Giving on the QUAA Board, suggested that philanthropy gives people a sense of fulfilment and meaning in their lives which financial success alone may not provide. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It can be the way to build a legacy and find real balance.카지노 게임 컬렉션
For Patsy Anderson, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션75, a member of the Order of Canada and the recipient of numerous awards recognizing her volunteerism, philanthropy with her husband has 카지노 게임 컬렉션enriched our lives unbelievably. We are lucky to have the opportunity to give, and tried to engage our children, when they were younger, in talking about priorities to support,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she said.
