FundCan

This discussion list is for educational fundraisers working within the Canadian context.  It is limited to topics related to fundraising in the educational field in particular.  Please do not send messages to this list which are not directly related to this topic. Also, please do not use this list to advertise.

FundCan was created by a group of people working in the field who felt that there was a need for an electronic forum which would facilitate an exchange of ideas.

Please feel free to send your messages in either English or French. Please note that if you send your messages in French, it is best to avoid using accents; they almost certainly will be lost along their way through the Internet.
