Redefining philanthropy, together
Our fundholder learning programs, Vision 2020, Vision Next and the Learning Exchange, brought donors together with community leaders to explore sector insights and practice values-driven, impactful philanthropy.
At Toronto Foundation we believe in the power of philanthropy to make meaningful change for all. For us, this change is about contributing to a society where everyone belongs and has equal opportunity to thrive. These aren’t just buzz words. We try to model this in how we grant and in how we partner with community. We don’t have all the answers. But we know that they will come through the strength of our relationships. Philanthropy can be a powerful force for good but it can’t work in isolation.Â
The Vision 2020, Vision Next and the Learning Exchange brought donors together with community for ongoing shared learning. We partnered with community leaders to bring current thinking and practice to our events, research and giving tools.Â
Learning Objectives
Our fundholder events touched on a number of key learning objectives including:
Our Guiding Principles:
- Combine new fresh content for existing fundholders with foundational learning sessions for new fundholders
- Less instruction, more interaction and collaboration
- Learning with and from other each other, not just from us
- Prioritizing speakers from the community and those with lived expertise
- Providing access to new spaces, places and ideas
