Join us for our conference and discover the story of a transformative gift of $159 million and what made it possible!

In 2022, the Université de Montréal received an unprecedented gift of $159 million to create the Institut Courtois. This historic gift, the largest ever given in the natural sciences in Canada, marks a decisive turning point for the philanthropy of the future.

Whatever the size of your organization, we are all affected by these exceptional gifts. Large or small, these gifts will have a major impact on the philanthropy of tomorrow.

The learning objective of this conference is to enable participants to understand the key factors that made an exceptional and transformative gift possible, focusing on:

1. The importance of donor stewardship to ensure ongoing commitment.
2. The steps and strategies behind securing a major gift.
3. The impact that such gifts, whatever their size, can have on the future of philanthropy, particularly in the context of academic or scientific organizations. Participants will also learn how bold vision and careful relationship management can lead to significant gifts that transform institutions.
