Working with professional advisors is at the heart of how the Toronto Community Foundation connects philanthropy to community needs and opportunities. Through our work with legal, accounting, financial and insurance professionals, we bring new ideas forward that can help broaden and deepen their client relationships.

This is why advisors like Margaret Franklin are so important to the Community Foundation. Margaret is a Principal with KJ Harrison & Partners Inc., an investment management firm founded in 2001. Their holistic wealth management philosophy includes conversation about how philanthropy fits into the overall life plan of their clients. Margaret works to identify both short and long-term goals for her clients and to determine the best options for their philanthropic giving. Those discussions often lead to talk about the effectiveness of the Toronto Community Foundation as a vehicle for their charitable giving.

“The Community Foundation allows my clients to establish a legacy during their lifetime, and ensure it will be honoured for generations to come,” says Margaret. “By working closely with staff at the Toronto Community Foundation, I can offer my clients a broad range of solutions to meet their needs.”

It is because of our connection with professional advisors like Margaret, and her clients, that the Toronto Community Foundation can make Toronto the best place to live, work, learn and grow, through the power of giving.
