Everyday Actions, Extraordinary Potential: The Power of Giving and Volunteering

As we track and analyze trends in philanthropy in Canada, it is valuable to have an eye on analysis and insights from other parts of the world. In the US, The Generosity Commission recently released its capstone report ‘Everyday Actions, Extraordinary Potential: The Power of Giving and Volunteering.’  As an initiative of The Giving Institute, where KCI is proud to be the only Canadian-based consulting member, this report is the culmination of a multi-year effort to analyze the forces shaping giving and volunteering. It proposes a set of recommendations to protect and promote the future of generosity, which are valuable to reflect on through the unique lens of Canadian philanthropy.
