Learn with Us

We’re excited to share our Learning Exchange lineup: our annual, year-long and evolving learning program on philanthropy. Comprised of foundational learning sessions for fundholders new to Toronto Foundation, as well as signature events with ever-changing content, there’s learning content for everyone—including folks who don’t have a fund with us, but care about what’s happening in philanthropy. Those public events are highlighted in purple and marked as public. We can’t wait to learn alongside you!

EVENT DETAILS
Using all our assets for good is what will help us tip the scales from doing good to creating change. Philanthropy can only go so far in addressing longstanding and systemic issues. But when we invest responsibly, we can help tackle intractable issues like inequality. In October we're sharing our first-ever investment-focused impact report, reflecting on our responsible investing strategy that was launched in 2021. Join our annual investment webinar to learn more.

**This is a fundholder only event.**

Reflecting on a long-overdue community foundation family reunion

We acknowledge we are on the traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat, the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. While Indigenous communities in Toronto remain strong, vibrant, and resilient, they need support to address and overcome the impact of colonialism and systemic inequalities. Furthering Indigenous reconciliation and sovereignty are integral to achieving a more fair and just society where everyone can thrive.

We aim to be an ally and to fund local Indigenous organizations.
