Communications Affinity Group Meeting

4 December 2025 / Registration Closing Soon

The Communications Affinity Group is a forum where practitioners from across the PFC network gather regularly to discuss important or emerging communications and public affairs issues relevant to Canadian foundations, philanthropy, and the wider non-profit and charitable sector.
Topic: Year-End Communications Playbook: Reporting, Storytelling, and Strategy

Description:
As the year wraps up, foundations face critical communications tasks—from preparing annual reports and audits to crafting compelling year-end narratives that showcase impact. This interactive session will bring communications professionals together to share best practices, tools, and lessons learned. Through breakout discussions, we’ll explore how to streamline reporting, elevate storytelling, and set the stage for a strong start to the new year.

Join us!
