Giving

When the Right Honourable David Johnston was installed as the 28th Governor General of Canada in 2010, he spoke of a vision for a smart and caring nation—where all Canadians can grow, succeed and contribute. The Rideau Hall Foundation’s goal is to widen the circle of giving by reinforcing giving as a fundamental Canadian value.

Patterns of generosity are changing in Canada and beyond – with crowd sourcing, micro-lending, global volunteerism, social enterprise and more – and yet little is known about how to modify the values and behaviours required to increase Canadians’ support of charitable and not-for-profit causes. The Rideau Hall Foundation is committed to taking a multi-sectoral and collaborative approach to strengthen giving in Canada – of time, talent and treasure.
