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!

Fundholder Exclusive: Continuous Learning Event

Join us in October when we host fundholders and community organizations to connect, chat, learn and laugh together through several rounds of informal conversations in a musical chairs-like format. It’s our speed-dating event re-imagined!

“It was simultaneously productive, informative and a ton of fun!”

Shy? Don’t worry about it. We’ve got you covered. We’ll have facilitated conversations in groups and more casual opportunities to connect too. Extroverted? Well, this is your chance to finally supercharge your changemaking dreams face-to-face with old friends and new.

There’s nothing you’ll need to prepare in advance. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to meet some incredible people making a difference in our city.

This is an in-person event. Spaces are limited.

5:30PM - 8:00PM
