Philanthropy
The Oxford Dictionary defines philanthropy as:
Philanthropy - noun - the desire to help others, especially through donation of money to good causes.
Haywood Securities Inc. is proud to be Lead sponsor of the Canadian National Cross Country Ski Team as well as donating to numerous Foundations, Trusts and Charities that support Hospitals, Medical Research, Amateur Sport and Community Social Programs. On an individual basis I support numerous Foundations, Trusts and Charities as well. Some in the capacity of a direct donation of funds, others I fundraise as in the case of the United Way of the Lower Mainland where I shaved my head on one occasion and cycled from Seattle to Portland on another. My belief is that Philanthropy constitutes a measure of ‘giving back’ as well as ensuring current and future generations are given ample opportunities. On a financial aside it is simply good tax planning to include charitable giving into your financial affairs.
