2017 Major Gifts and Grants
As a charity, private support makes the C.D. Howe Institute’s work possible. People are often surprised by our modest resources. We have only one office, and about 30 staff. We have no eight-figure endowments or major, multi-year government grants. All donations are purely philanthropic – the Institute does not accept any donations that stipulate a predetermined result or otherwise inhibit the independence of its staff and authors. Targeted major gifts and event sponsorships enable supporters to bolster the Institute’s research and dissemination capacities in specific areas of interest. They complement the annual membership campaign, strengthening the Institute and enabling it to recruit scholars and support programs that enhance its ability to develop innovative solutions to policy challenges. We gratefully acknowledge the following donors and sponsors:
