"For most people, it's
the joy that comes
from knowing they
had an impact on
other people's lives
and that they're
making an impact on
the present and the
future."

president of the Association
of Fundraising Professionals.

According to Statistics Canada,
Manitoba was the most charitable
province in Canada in 2022: Just
under one in five tax filers (19.3
percent) declared a donation on
their tax form that year, with a
median donation of $590.
These donations were equal
to a value equivalent to nation-
leading 1.0 percent of total
income.
That shows Fowler that
philanthropy is alive and well in
the community.
"When someone makes a
charitable donation, my hope is
always that it brings the giver joy,"
she says.
"You do get a tax receipt, but
the tax receipt isn't the most
important part of the gift. For
most people, it's the joy that
comes from knowing they had an
impact on other people's lives and
that they're making an impact on
the present and the future."
