Intersections and Innovations:
A Must-Read for Serious Philanthropists
Sharilyn contributed the chapter on Giving & Fundraising Trends and served on the Editorial Advisory Committee, led by Editors Dr. Susan Phillips and Bob Wyatt. Dr. Hale notes,
"This resource offers direct insight into the depth and complexity of Canada's charitable sector, its challenges, and how it is changing and evolving in direct response to necessity and opportunity...just reading the table of contents is an education itself..."
You may download the whole book, or specific chapters of interest. While the resource is of specific benefit to those who work in the sector, it also serves philanthropists and foundations wanting to be more informed about the charitable landscape.

Giving Together: How Generous Families in Canada are Navigating Community & Continuity
Why do families give together? How are they giving? How are they engaging across generations and geography? What do they need to be effective?
Sharilyn was invited by the Canadian Charity Law Association to share some insights on generous families in Canada. Drawing from her research on family philanthropy and experience working with generous families internationally, Sharilyn addressed how philanthropy is helping families achieve both family and community objectives.
The session is of interest to members of generous families and the advisors that serve them. If you missed it live, browse at your convenience below.

Having a website isn't news, unless it advances an important story. And we have one. Our work at Watermark has evolved significantly since our founding in 2011. Today, Watermark helps those who give, give well, and enhances the performance of social purpose organizations. Our refreshed website more clearly speaks to this focus.
But what's with the sea animals? Life underwater is every bit as diverse and complex as life on land. The vibrant images we've selected represent the community and diversity of Watermark's clients - from families (that are multi-generational, multi-racial, multi-faith, and blended), to private foundations, family offices, financial services firms, and the boards of charitable organizations.
