Five emerging Canadian philanthropists
It’s tempting to call this new generation of philanthropically minded women the next “glitter girls” (we photographed them in some pretty brilliant examples of holiday trousers and skirts, after all). But what sets this group apart from their fundraising and awareness-raising forebears is an approach that prioritizes inclusivity and advocacy as much as schmoozing and pizzaz. So it’s not surprising that they’re full of inspiring ideas for how you too can do good this season. The Globe and Mail, 2018 ↗
