Communications Affinity Group 

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.

This initiative supports the exchange of ideas, learning about relevant news related to our sector, sharing intelligence, and working together on communications best practices. It also provides a platform for collective action, professional development, networking, and dialogue.

  • private foundations
