Foundation Friends
Central Okanagan Foundation thanks BMO Harris Private Banking and BMO Financial Group for their Support!
Supporting Your Community (SYC) is a unique alliance, now in its fourth year, between BMO Financial Group and 39 community foundations across the country. The alliance was created to help BMO clients achieve their charitable goals by linking them with philanthropic expertise in their community.
This year, Nesbitt Burns enhanced the SYC program by launching the BMO Nesbitt Burns Charitable Giving Program, geared specifically to Nesbitt Burns advisors and their clientele. Both programs give clients the benefit of community foundations’ grantmaking, administration and donor services, while BMO continues to manage the investment.
The Central Okanagan Foundation would also like to thank BMO Harris Private Banking for its sponsorship of the COF Flashback Evening: a Tribute to Our Founders. BMO Harris Private Banking and BMO Financial Group have shown themselves to be true corporate citizens in their support of the people and passions that have shaped our community foundation over the past 30 years. We look forward to their continued support in the future.
"In providing financial and estate planning services, at BMO we understand that ‘giving back’ is often a key component of our client’s life goals. The folks at the Central Okanagan Foundation have a special talent for making the philanthropic wishes of our clients come true. Our innovative working relationship with the COF provides a valuable and unique service to our clients."
