Partnership Projects

Policy, Government Relations & Advocacy

Philanthropic Foundations Canada plays an active role in engaging governments, civil society partners and influencers to create enabling environments for a more inclusive, resilient, sustainable, and prosperous Canada. Driven by PFC’s purpose to strengthen Canadian philanthropy, we work hard to align and amplify our efforts in public policy and advocacy. This work is rooted in insights from our partnerships, research, and programs, as well as current affairs and external events.

Our public policy and advocacy work centres on issues related to the effectiveness and impact of philanthropy, including the legislative regulatory framework. Our current policy priorities include:

  • the disbursement quota
  • better support for non-qualified donees
  • increasing impact and mission-related investment
  • fixing the sector’s data deficit

Our strategies include government relations, member and community engagement, developing and disseminating strategic insights and research, and steering robust and timely communications efforts.
