Corporate Canada isn't as generous to charitable causes as the public thinks, the head of the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy told business leaders yesterday.
'The truth is, financial support from the corporate sector is quite modest,' Georgia Steinsky-Schwartz, the centre's chief executive officer, said in a luncheon speech to the Empire Club of Canada.
Corporate donations make up just 3 per cent of the revenues the country's 161,000 charities and non-profit agencies � including hospitals and universities � receive, Steinsky-Schwartz told about 300 people at the Fairmount Royal York Hotel. "
