Dear Potential Sponsor:

The Summit will take place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Tuesday, 27

The event is jointly convened by Imagine Canada, Volunteer Canada and the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), supported by the AFP Greater Toronto Chapter.

This is the first time that these three national and international organizations have come together for the benefit of the nonprofit sector in Canada. Building on the success of the annual AFP Greater Toronto Chapter’s Fundraising Day, it will add a day of content, focusing on addressing an additional set of sector issues and priorities of relevance to the 3 organizations and the constituencies they serve.

With increasing public focus on the work of the nonprofit sector and on the various ways in which we ensure and fund its delivery, Summit 2008 is intended to provide the opportunity for approximately 200 of the senior executives in the nonprofit sector to define and deliver an action plan to increase their influence, resources and impact in their communities.

Today’s leading corporations are motivated to address societal challenges because today's stakeholders are increasingly aware of the importance and impact of corporate decisions upon society and the environment.

Corporate Social Responsibility makes companies more innovative and competitive by enhancing the relationships within their communities.Corporate Social Responsibility improves a company’s reputation and branding.

The Summit offers your company an opportunity to showcase its corporate social responsibility goals by being involved in a unique initiative that will bring together leaders in the non-profit communities from across the country to share information on recent changes and identify practical ways to build a more sustainable third sector in Canada. Through plenary discussions and results-oriented workshops, participants will identify ways in which we can improve our sector’s capacity in four broad areas: human capacity; financial capacity; public policy and government relations; and standards.

As a community minded business, we invite you to step up and have a direct and immediate impact on the not-forprofit sector by sponsoring this important event. This is an ideal opportunity to enhance your current community investment by supporting this sector-wide initiative.
