The Philanthropic Development Associate Program lets Centraide benefit from additional human resources without adding management costs. During the critical period of the annual campaign, the Philanthropic Development Associates work with the Centraide team to provide support and guidance to workplace fundraising campaign organizers. You can participate in two ways: loan an employee or provide a sponsorship.
Collectively, we have the power to make a difference. I’m happy to do my part and get involved in the recruitment of Centraide’s Philanthropic Development Associate Program. The involvement of federal government organizations has a real impact on Centraide’s ability to mobilize community players. By supporting the program, you are helping to eradicate the poverty and social exclusion that still affect far too many of our fellow citizens.”
Centraide is aligned with BMO’s corporate values of being close to people and the community. Centraide’s Philanthropic Development Associate Program helps with the deployment of the annual campaign. Supporting the program is a way to demonstrate commitment to our community and is also a great way to enhance human and professional experience.”
