Welcome to the Professional Advisors e-Resource

Introduction

The professional advisor plays a singularly important role in helping the client create and realize a personal philanthropic vision. Community foundations facilitate philanthropy through the ways in which they partner with donors in supporting community activity. These two actors, professional advisors and community foundations, can enhance their relationships with donors by making the most of the tools and information available.

The information in this site has been developed by Community Foundations of Canada (CFC) to:

  • provide professional advisors with a sampling of planning ideas for consideration in the context of effective estate, tax and financial planning;
  • equip Canadian community foundations with the tools to work effectively with professional advisors.
