Canadian charitable foundations are facing a bigger investment hurdle to meet the federal govt's new 5% Disbursement Quota (up from 3.5%). Portfolio asset mixes will need to be revisited...
New rules for registered #charities are now in effect, including Disbursement Quota bump from 3.5% to 5.0% of investable assets. We partnered with @NLawGlobal's @BlatchfordLaw @BryanMillman to produce a brief primer on the legal & portfolio implications: www2.leithwheeler.com/prepar…

“Career is not the only thing that defines you. Do more- for yourself, for your family & in the service of others. Indeed, it has been through many of the things I've done outside of work that I've developed my EQ, honed leadership skills & had the most impact.” #can40under40

I've loved @Radiolab for yrs, but I'd never made it back to episode #1. With @JadAbumrad's well-earned but sad-for-the-rest-of-us departure, this replay shows why it was destined for great things, esp @ 26:04+ (on "The First Radiolab" on the link).
Before we say goodbye to @JadAbumrad, we wanted to go back to the very beginning, when "Radio Lab" said "Hello, world!" Listen here: bit.ly/3e3Pe8g
