PFC Events
Each year, we offer a wide variety of events for members and non-member grantmaking organizations to assist with professional development and peer learning opportunities.
In addition, PFC hosts a yearly gathering of leaders in the philanthropic sector from Canada and across the world to exchange ideas, learn from each other and discuss important issues facing our communities.
#Webinar Wednesday
Reducing inequality: commitments and contributions that foundations can make
Wednesday September 22nd 2021, 2 – 3: 15PM EST
Most foundations aim to contribute in positive ways to the welfare of their community. However – and despite the best of intentions — the sum of their choices and actions don’t always work together to reduce social and economic inequality.
