Philanthropic success stories in Canada

This report is the product of conversations we had with philanthropy experts across the country. What emerged from these conversations was a picture of Canadian philanthropic achievement that  is quite unique. Philanthropy, as defined by our experts, is about more than money; it is also about time, passion, and selflessness. The achievements described by our experts are various and encompass nearly every aspect of Canadian society. Their impacts are felt on many levels, from the individual right up to the national and even international levels. The purpose of our study was not to find consensus on any one achievement; rather, it was to gather a wide array of impressions and examples of what Canadian philanthropy has contributed to Canada and the world over the years.
