Most wealthy Canadians see importance of charitable giving: survey

The good news is that most Canadians worth $1 million or more feel it's important to give back to the community. The bad news is about one in four of these high-worth individuals do not.

Survey results released Monday — to coincide with National Philanthropy Day — by BMO Harris Private Banking show that 76 per cent of holders of at least $1 million in investable assets say it is important to them to give something back.
