Donor Accountability

Howe Institute you can be secure in the knowledge that your gift will be carefully managed and will be used to create high-level, relevant and exceptional results.

Your Contributions At Work
If you have given to the Institute in the past, what initiatives has your gift helped to support? The Institute has played a central role in defining the debate and development of Canadian public policy. The Institute led debate and helped spark:
- The embrace of continental free trade by successive federal governments;
- The national consensus on the need to reduce federal and provincial deficits and to establish a more competitive fiscal framework;
- The reform of the Canada Pension Plan;
- The decision by the Bank of Canada to pursue a low inflation policy;
- The decision of various governments to create a tax advantage for Canada and begin to tax reform.
“As Canadians, we value the freedom to engage in lively and spirited debate on issues of importance to our country. We understand that a diversity of well-formed opinions makes us stronger. Since its inception in 1958, the C.D. Howe Institute has brought a unique perspective to public policy issues.” — Shawn Graham, Premier of New Brunswick
