2016 C.D. Howe Institute Report on Giving 1
We and our colleagues at the C.D. Howe Institute are profoundly grateful for your support.
You are a member of a special community of donors and thought leaders who understand that good policy does not happen by accident. It requires independent, evidence-driven research. It requires a credible voice that speaks with authority.
This combination of independence and credibility has set the C.D. Howe Institute apart for more than half a century.
And the need for a voice like ours has never been greater. Economic distress and political discontent are fueling demands for thicker borders, higher taxes, and growth-stifling regulation – not just abroad, but here in Canada. The C.D Howe Institute plays a key role highlighting the ingredients of success and prosperity to audiences from coast to coast, in legislatures, newsrooms, boardrooms and living rooms.
Producing independent, credible work, and communicating it in an increasingly noisy world, takes significant resources – resources we rely on you to provide.
Your financial and intellectual contributions help us shape a stronger country.
Canadians are better off as a result of your commitment. Thank you!
