reating a thriving city for everyone relies
on the crucial role of philanthropy.
Donors aspire to make a meaningful
impact on the charitable causes close to their
hearts. Whether you’ve been a donor for years or
are new to Edmonton Community Foundation
(ECF), we’re thrilled for you to learn more with
our inaugural Generosity Education section in
Legacy in Action.
In each issue, you’ll hear from experts who
will share insightful perspectives about charitable
giving and the philanthropic sector. This marks a
significant step in our broader initiative to provide
donors with practical knowledge, empowering
them to make informed decisions about their
community support.
As tax season unfolds, our focus shifts to key
elements that can turn this time of year into a
win-win for you and your preferred causes. In the
following pages, we’ll discuss the tax benefits of
different ways of giving, with input from financial
planning experts. We’ll hear from ECF donors
who are putting these tools to work. And we’ll
look at how proposed changes to Canadian tax
legislation could affect your philanthropic efforts.
We hope you find this information helpful, and
we encourage you to discuss these topics with
your financial advisors.
We would also like to hear from you. We invite
you to share the topics or areas of philanthropy
you wish to explore further. Together, let’s
enhance our understanding and impact in the
world of giving.
