AIDS Calgary Awareness Association (ACAA) was honoured to host the GLBT-A (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and allies) Community Giving Conference - presented by TD Bank Financial Group. This conference built a collective understanding of philanthropy in the Calgary GLBT-A community by engaging and educating: individuals, foundations and corporations, to meet the future needs of this community.
This conference attracted over 60 delegates and featured 10 local and national speakers, workshops and panel discussions. Topics will vary from forming a foundation, giving in diverse communities, and community leadership in corporate philanthropy.

Why was this conference needed?
ACAA has noted a rise of GLBT-A community visibility in philanthropy but a lack of education and knowledge of community giving and philanthropy in the same community. As the first of its kind in Western Canada, the conference showcased knowledge in this area by bringing together organizations, businesses, donors, non-profit staff and volunteers from Calgary's GLBT-A community and beyond.
