What is philanthropy?

Philanthropy is an engaging, sustained activity aimed at permanent social change. Unlike charitable giving, which entails little more than writing a cheque in support of a worthy cause, strategic philanthropy involves the donor more actively. It necessitates setting long-term goals, which can be achieved through rational and thoughtful decision-making, along with diligent monitoring and assessment. This requires not only capital, but vision, expertise and a long time horizon.

Philanthropy provides an opportunity for you and your family to give in a way that reflects your values and beliefs. You can choose a cause or a charity in keeping with your interests and help ensure that change occurs.

Whatever your reason for wanting to give, we can provide you with the support of experienced professionals who will guide you through the complexities of philanthropic giving. We can help you and your family define your giving goals, establish a plan to implement them, and then help to administer and guide the ongoing philanthropic program — including monitoring your progress.

BMO Harris Private Banking offers the professional advice and assistance you need to give strategically.
