National Conference

PFC’s National Conference is a bi-annual gathering for the philanthropic sector which is the key meeting point of philanthropic foundation leaders from Canada and across the world, providing a unique, bilingual opportunity for hundreds of members, friends, partners, and leaders in the sector to share, learn, and explore new ideas for how philanthropy can tackle the urgent challenges of our times.

Building on the successes of our 2022 conference, the largest and most diverse in PFC history, and on our popular regional events hosted across Canada in 2023, we will be marking 25 Years together at PFC’s Conference in 2024 on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People, now home to Canada’s national capital.

Together Webinar Series

In anticipation of philanthropy coming TOGETHER later this year at our Bi-Annual Conference in Ottawa we want to start 2024, the year that marks PFC’s 25th Anniversary, by showcasing important conversations across our conference program streams: Fundamentals, Trends & Tensions and Collaboration.  We plan to build up to our September Conference by tackling a new topic each month.
