Please join us at the 25th anniversary of Greater Vancouver’s National Philanthropy Day presented by RBC to honour and acknowledge the Giving Hearts Award nominees and recipients.
Global BC Reporter and Anchor Sarah MacDonald will be emceeing the event.
AFP’s Tracy London is joined by Vancouver Foundation’s CEO Kevin McCort and Director, Indigenous Priorities Jeska Slater who will present a key note address on Vancouver Foundation’s ongoing journey to be in right relations with Indigenous and Metis communities in BC. Initially, Vancouver Foundation was one of the first signees of the Philanthropic Declaration of Action. Since then, the foundation has hired an Indigenous team and community advisors to lead the first steps – to create a multi-faceted program that goes beyond just funding. The Indigenous Priorities Strategy includes exploring systems change in an Indigenous context, mapping opportunities for advocacy, and moving to more relational grantmaking that is co-created with the communities they serve. The journey has not always been an easy one, and Kevin and Jeska will share some of the learnings and insights gained along the way.
Proudly sponsored by Global BC.
