The Pulse of Philanthropy

Thank you to the 230 participants who joined us for PFC’s third national conference, The Pulse of Philanthropy in Calgary from October 28-30, 2009 to ‘feel the pulse’ of Canada’s philanthropic community. Engaged donors, committed grantmakers and international speakers discussed new approaches to the challenges in communities, and debated new forms of collaboration. And we found time to celebrate PFC’s tenth anniversary in the field.
