Report on Giving 2015
On behalf of our colleagues at the C.D. Howe Institute and everyone who contributes to
the Institute’s work, we thank you.
Benefactors like you are helping to make Canada a better place in the world to
live, work, save and build a future. It’s that simple.
Thanks to your generosity,the Institute will produce record output in 2015 – 66 cutting-edge
research reports and 73 insightful events – making an impressive range of contributions to
foster smarter public policy.
The Institute launched 2015 by calling on policymakers across Canada to grapple
with the reality of our aging population’s impact on healthcare. And to make needed
investments in Canada’s human capital. As the year progressed, we released innovative
recommendations to boost our children’s learning in school, attract more foreign
investment, increase the fiscal transparency of our governments, improve retirement saving,
and better manage Canada’s macroeconomy, to name a few.
The strength of this work is reflected by the wide range of policy leaders who reference
our publications and participate in our events.The Institute is regularly cited in
provincial legislatures, parliamentary committees, budget documents, and in national and
international media.
These and the many other examples of the Institute’s impact in the pages that follow are
the result of our members’ philanthropy.
You understand that good policy does not happen by accident.
A strong C.D. Howe Institute ensures that policymakers
throughout Canada receive the intelligent insights they need.
We prepare for 2016 conscious of the challenges – and ready
to tackle them, thanks to your support. Once again, thank you!

Major Gifts and Grants
Private support makes the C.D. Howe Institute’s work possible. People are often surprised by our modest
resources. We have only one office, and just over 30 staff. We have no eight-figure endowments nor major,
multi-year government grants. All donations are purely philanthropic – the Institute does not accept any
donations that stipulate a predetermined result or that otherwise inhibit the independence of its staff
and authors.
Targeted major gifts and event sponsorships enable supporters to bolster the Institute’s research and
dissemination capacities in specific areas of interest.They complement the annual membership campaign,
strengthening the Institute and enabling it to recruit scholars and support programs that enhance its ability to
develop innovative solutions to policy challenges.The Institute’s policy impact would not have been possible in
the absence of support from the donors and sponsors listed in the pages that follow.
“Long-term certainty about its funding allows the C.D. Howe
Institute to hire the best and brightest researchers.That’s why The
Petman Foundation committed to a six-year funding program.”
– Richard Howson, President,The Petman Foundation
The C.D. Howe Institute gratefully
acknowledges the Petman Foundation for a
long-term financial gift of $150,000 to the
Institute, which will provide stable support
to the Institute’s core activities.

  • 2. On behalf of our colleagues at the C.D. Howe Institute and everyone who contributes to the Institute’s work, we thank you. Benefactors like you are helping to make Canada a better place in the world to live, work, save and build a future. It’s that simple. Thanks to your generosity,the Institute will produce record output in 2015 – 66 cutting-edge research reports and 73 insightful events – making an impressive range of contributions to foster smarter public policy. The Institute launched 2015 by calling on policymakers across Canada to grapple with the reality of our aging population’s impact on healthcare. And to make needed investments in Canada’s human capital. As the year progressed, we released innovative recommendations to boost our children’s learning in school, attract more foreign investment, increase the fiscal transparency of our governments, improve retirement saving, and better manage Canada’s macroeconomy, to name a few. The strength of this work is reflected by the wide range of policy leaders who reference our publications and participate in our events.The Institute is regularly cited in provincial legislatures, parliamentary committees, budget documents, and in national and international media. These and the many other examples of the Institute’s impact in the pages that follow are the result of our members’ philanthropy. You understand that good policy does not happen by accident. A strong C.D. Howe Institute ensures that policymakers throughout Canada receive the intelligent insights they need. We prepare for 2016 conscious of the challenges – and ready to tackle them, thanks to your support. Once again, thank you! William B.P Robson President and CEO Duncan T. Munn Senior Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer Leadership Message Front cover (from top left): Alston Perianayagam, David Dodge and Kevin Dancey, KathleenTaylor, Anita Anand Elly Meister, Hugh MacKinnon, Briar Foster, Don Johnson Victor Dodig, Annette Verschuren Claire Kennedy, Elyse Allan Richard Howson, Scott Burns

  • 6. 4 2015 C.D. Howe Institute Report on Giving Major Gifts and Grants Private support makes the C.D. Howe Institute’s work possible. People are often surprised by our modest resources. We have only one office, and just over 30 staff. We have no eight-figure endowments nor major, multi-year government grants. All donations are purely philanthropic – the Institute does not accept any donations that stipulate a predetermined result or that otherwise inhibit the independence of its staff and authors. Targeted major gifts and event sponsorships enable supporters to bolster the Institute’s research and dissemination capacities in specific areas of interest.They complement the annual membership campaign, strengthening the Institute and enabling it to recruit scholars and support programs that enhance its ability to develop innovative solutions to policy challenges.The Institute’s policy impact would not have been possible in the absence of support from the donors and sponsors listed in the pages that follow. “Long-term certainty about its funding allows the C.D. Howe Institute to hire the best and brightest researchers.That’s why The Petman Foundation committed to a six-year funding program.” – Richard Howson, President,The Petman Foundation The C.D. Howe Institute gratefully acknowledges the Petman Foundation for a long-term financial gift of $150,000 to the Institute, which will provide stable support to the Institute’s core activities.
