Transformational Philanthropy from the Donor's Perspective: Interview with Ron Zeeb, Founder of The Heritage Institute Transformational Philanthropy from the Donor's Perspective: “When the non-profits learn to focus on my need to give rather than their need to get, they will get a lot more from me.” As the recently released Bank of America Study of Philanthropy (previously known as the US Trust Study of High Net Worth Philanthropy) found, the number 1 reason affluent donors choose a cause or organization to support is the donor's values (72%). Only 48% gave due to the perceived need of the organization or issue, and only 13% gave due to a compelling pitch (in person, virtually, or via collateral). Therefore, the key to generating transformational gifts is to focus on the donor's values and desired outcomes and then provide opportunities for them to fulfill those desired outcomes. Consequently, your focus needs to be on the desired outcomes of your donor (their need to give), rather than the organization's needs (your need to get). Rodney C. Zeeb, JD, HDP™, Founder and CEO of The Heritage Institute. Rod has over three decades of experience in estate planning, charitable planning, and heritage design and is recognized internationally for his contributions to the field. Among the major national conferences and events Rod has spoken to are Pershing's INSITE Conference, MDRT, NAIFA, Kingdom Advisors, Securities Industries and Financial Markets Associations (SIFMA ), NAPFA, United Way of America National de Tocqueville Conference, FPA (national and regional groups), International Association of Advisors in Philanthropy, National Association of Charitable Gift Planners, and many others. Rod typically receives the highest speaker evaluations. Rod has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The Christian Science Monitor, Dow Jones News, Macleans Magazine (including international editions), Wealth Collection Magazine, Financial Advisor Magazine, Wealth Manager Magazine, Inside Information, and many other print and online publications. Rod has written numerous articles and white papers. He is also the author of Beating the Midas Curse (now in its 3rd Edition) and Family Stewardship, and co-author of the novel What Matters.

Every pop culture reference to Sasquatch or Bigfoot can be traced to one Macleans Magazine article from 1929, written by Indian Agent J.W. Burns, who stole the story of Sas'qets, a core part of Sto:lo cultural identity for thousands of years. Robert Jago is a Sto:lo writer and Sasquatch enthusiast who set out to take Sasquatch back. But the process of cultural appropriation turns out to be more complicated than passing a physical object back and forth, and Jago tells a unique story of how the Sts'ailes people kept their culture alive in the face of genocide, by appropriating appropriation.Links: Macleans, 1929: Introducing B.

This paper had the attention of Macleans Magazine, The Globe and Mail, and The Guardian. The Christian Press also reported on this paper and analyzed in Outlook and World.

Roy L Hales/ CKTZ News - Human rights lawyer and climate activist Jessica Wegg will be the Green Party candidate for North Island-Powell River during the next Federal election. “We can't keep having 40 degree summers in Comox, or wildfires destroying towns. There were tornadoes in Washington DC yesterday. It is so obvious, so apparent and completely unsustainable. And I need to know that I did everything in my power to make it better,” she said. According to Philippe J Fournier, of Macleans Magazine and the website 338Canada, the rumours swirling around Ottawa suggest the election will be in late summer or early next fall. “Crunching the numbers over the weekend, the only question that kept popping in my head is: Why?” he wrote. Recent polls suggest that if the election were held now, there would be another Liberal minority government. The most recent 338Canada's projection was made a week ago, at which point the Greens were leading in two Vancouver Island ridings: Saanich-Gulf Islands (a safe seat) and Nanaimo-Ladysmith (where they allegedly lead by a mere 1%). During the weeks leading up to the last Federal election, 338Canada's projects often showed the Greens leading in four of the seven island ridings. North Island-Powell River wasn't one of them, but in late August they were shown within 5% of the leading NDP. This groundswell of support disappeared in the week prior to the election and two Green MPs went to Ottawa. “I know that the Green Party made a strong showing in the last election and that was with people from the NDP telling them that they were going to split the vote, and it was a wasted vote. Making people think they would have to vote orange otherwise the Liberals or Conservatives were going to win,” said Jessica Wegg. “People can't be afraid anymore and I think they are seeing that. We have to focus on what is in our hearts and what we know. I think people are ready to do that.” Photo credit: Jessica Wegg and her son at the provincial legislature - courtesy Jessica Wegg

So, episode 115 - a new record. But you know that right? Because you subscribe to the show and have already rated and reviewed the podcast - right? You should.We are trying a new format over here at the Taman/Spratt studios - a shorter podcast in your feed every two weeks - like clockwork! So on to the show…There is bad reporting and then there is the MacLeans Magazine piece on the Sullivan and Chan case about the defence of self induced intoxication. After the Ontario Court of Appeal found the Criminal Code's prohibition on the defence of extreme intoxication unconstitutional there was lots of misinformation and poor reporting, with some going as far as calling it a get-out-of-jail-free card for rapists. We discussed the legal issues way back on episode 108.And then MacLeans tried to take a deep dive into those complex constitutional, legal, and political waters. It was a belly flop.So, this episode we set the record straight and beg reporters to give us a call before your work hits the printing press.Remember, you can self-isolate in The Docket's Discord chatroom.

Beginning in 1880, the Government of Canada removed Indigenous children, beginning at the age of 4, and forced them into residential schools. Believe it or not, this practice carried on for 100 years!
