Upcoming Webinar – Ask Us Anything About: Investing in the Future
You ask, the Foundation answers!
Join us November 10 at 12PM ET for hour-long webinar Ask Us Anything About: Investing in the Future!
With all of the unique challenges facing church organizations today, making long-term investments may not seem like a reliable strategy. However, with guidance from the United Church of Canada Foundation, you can make the decision to create a stable, long-term portfolio a lot less daunting.
Join Alvina Siddiqui from our investment partner Fiera Capital and the Foundation’s Communications and Campaign Associate Jessica Smith and explore the the opportunities for investing within and alongside the Foundation, congregational endowment funds, planned giving, market forecasts and more at our webinar.

We are here to help you prioritize your goals, form meaningful objectives, and connect you with trusted partners with an understanding of issues relating to United Church groups.
