OCF tagline is `building more effective philanthropy' continued from p.13 Areas such as arts and culture (54 per cent, low priority) and First Nations (44 per cent, low priority) could present opportunities to "introduce and educate fundholders on new funding opportunities they may not otherwise engage with in their local areas," the survey stated. "The tagline for the organization (OCF), `building more effective philanthropy,' is a great one, as is the way this organization has framed the things you want to support," said Kong. He noted 93 per cent of OCF's fundholders are interested in helping community members transition from dependency to self-sustainment, while 72 per cent wanted to use foundation endowments as investment vehicles to support social enterprises. "This is really a brilliant way to frame what this foundation is all about. When we look at the causes people want to support, the way you have framed the mission of this organization is in the sweet spot between housing, equity gap and diversity to inclusion," said Kong. Thirty-six per cent of fundholders indicated they were likely to increase giving to organizations serving Oakville, while most felt they were more inclined to continue contributing at the same level to groups serving Oakville (64 per cent), Oakville and areas (77 per cent) and Canada (59 per cent). More than half (56 per cent) of fundholders were very or somewhat likely to increase their contribution to the foundation, depending on their current and future financial situations. "Canadians are very embracing of the values I spoke about before and are socially responsible and giving," said Kong. "That is something we should continue to build off of and the good work that community foundations are continuing to build off of, as well." 15 | Thursday, July 7, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com `Oasis Festival atOasisUrBanMarKet SATURDAY JULY 9TH | 9AM - 3 PM 5 Drive-in Presents the PROUDLYPRESENTS PR ATribute toTheTragically Hip Practically Hip Featuring: LIVEMUSIC LIVE MUSIC OASIS FAMILY FUN: · Elsa andAnna show and Meet & Greet · Face Painting · Bouncy Castles · 5 Drive-In Play Station · Movie Pass Giveaways & So Much More!
