Canada's Charitable History
Manage episode 232897711 series 2287993
The famous Massey Foundation (established in 1896) was the first charitable trust of its kind in Canada. It is often referred to as the first charity in Canada, but it would be a mistake to think this is where charity in Canada started.
This week, host Nick Bridges is joined by Know History’s Sara Wilmshurst. With her unique background in fundraising management, Sara is the perfect person to guide us through the history of charity in Canada.
How did British common law influence our definition of charity? What effect did World War I have on charities in Canadian culture? What led to our ability to write off charitable donation on our taxes? And, what in the world is The Federation Fundraising Movement?
For these answers and more, join Nick and Sara as they notice the history of charity in Canada.
