| 27 Apr 2023 | The Cookie Queens of Canada | 00:42:32 | |
Today’s episode has us jetting off to the quaint town of Dunnville, in Ontario’s Niagara peninsula to chat with Penny Banks of the Dunnville Hospital and Healthcare Foundation. Penny is the passionate and upbeat Executive Director of the foundation and enthusiastically spends a good portion of Smile Cookie Week elbow deep in cookie dough. Penny’s organization teamed up with the Tim Horton’s Smile Cookie campaign and the union paid off – literally. Since 1996, $77 million has been raised for organizations through smile cookies, and Dunnville’s tiny hospital foundation has fundraised more money than any other organization in Canada. Dunnville, Ontario is now the “Cookie Capital of Canada” crowning Penny and her team the “Cookie Queens of Canada”. Today’s episode is hosted by Global Philanthropic Canada’s resident storyteller and Senior Consultant, Janine Foster-Elmslie. Want to learn more?

It's Pride Season! So let's dive in. Pssst. May we have an itty bitty chat about the acronym LGBTQ? Or is it LGBTQ+? Where do we include the 2S? What does allyship look like from a fundraising perspective? What's the best approach to pronouns in the workplace? This conversation provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by the queer community and what we can do collectively to drive positive change.

| 01 Apr 2025 | Trust and interconnectivity in Canadian fundraising | 00:29:50 | |
What makes philanthropy tick in the Canadian landscape? How do we collectively squeeze the most juice out of associations and memberships to elevate your non-profit's mission and your fundraising career? What does it mean to be a fundraising generalist? In this episode, we dive in to discuss fundraising in Canada from the perspective of Lisa Dayanandan, CFRE. Lisa is a self-described storyteller, connector and big picture thinker. A former teacher, she found her way into fundraising and never looked back. Currently, she works as Philanthropy Advisor with the Edmonton Community Foundation while also volunteering with AFP Edmonton and Area Chapter and the Canadian Association of Gift Planners. This episode is hosted by Corrie Fortner. If Lisa is a storyteller, connector and big picture thinker, Corrie is an empath, problem-solver extraordinaire and a visionary leader. She is a compassionate and strategic fund development professional with a strong history of success working with donors, leading teams, and supporting organizations to attain and surpass their goals. She currently works with Global Philanthropic Canada as Vice President, Prairies & Territories and Senior Consultant for many Canadian non-profits.
