Stepright with Lynn Whetham Radio Show Canadians are generous.  We give to many charities every year.  In 2013, the vast majority of Canadians (82%) made financial donations to a charitable or non-profit organization.  The average annual amount per donor was $531 in 2013, up $61 from 2010.  The “top donors,” defined as the 25% of donors who contributed the most money, contribute to about four fifths of the total annual amount of donations in a given year. Most Canadians give cash directly to the charity but there can be good reasons to explore additional ways to give and resources available to help.  Perhaps someone wants to be intentional about their giving.  Perhaps they have additional cash to give away this year – due to selling a business or receiving an inheritance.  Perhaps they are curious about giving stocks or mutual funds or want to know more about donating life insurance. Regardless of the amount or method, it's important that people ensure they can track their donations, both from a financial planning and tax efficiency perspective.  Working with a financial planner to build charitable giving into your overall household budget can help ensure you maximize the amount you're able to give and allow you to take advantage of the tax benefits associated with your donations. www.mennofoundation.ca

The future isn’t what it used to be. Our prospects for the twenty-first century look very different than they did at the outset of the twentieth, with an increasingly unstable climate, rising energy prices, and a volatile economy converging on a global society that is woefully unprepared. Or is it? The Transition Network began in the UK as a community-scaled, grassroots response to our worldwide predicament. At its heart is a realization that we can live simpler, happier, more enviromentally- and socially-conscious lives by transitioning away from a way of life that relies on enormous amounts of energy. Today Transition is a worldwide movement, and Transition KW is just one of nearly five hundred independent initiatives worldwide.

The original ‘Why Saving Money is Not the Secret to Retirement’ is one of the most popular webinars for CGA members. Likely because people realize that conventional retirement teaching is financially impossible for most people. This causes undue stress while people attempt to get a good return on investment, save more, cut back spending, reduce fees and pay less interest. All this actually sabotages results. The real-life answer is so simple it can be learned by young children yet is rarely acknowledged in the financial or educational communities. What is the secret to retirement? Why does ‘get out of debt’ keep you broke? And, how can spending money make you wealthy? Learn it. Apply it, and realize significant results next year. Tracy Piercy, CFP, is an expert in methods to increase financial capacity. Her programs address the mindset of money, solid financial management strategies, income creation starting from zero, and sustainability for financial independence. She is the founder of MoneyMinding®, a blueprint for learning and applying sound financial practices regardless of current age and financial situation.

Lynn’s guest is Shirley Mitchell. Shirley has spent a lifetime working in the non-profit sector and she will share ideas on how we can make a difference. Though it’s been said that “real charity doesn’t care if it’s tax deductible or not”. Shirley will explain how we can do what’s right for others and create a tax advantage. One of Shirley’s suggestions is that people “adopt”. You’ll have to tune in to find out what Shirley means by that: It might not be what you think! If you have a question or comment, please feel free to email lynn@stepright.ca. http://www.stepright.ca
