I was fortunate to be accompanied by Pur Philanthropie as La Presse embarked on a brand new philanthropic initiative. Catherine and Jennifer were mobilizing guides, advisors and consultants, ready to listen and understand the environment of the NPO they were working with, demonstrating immense openness and essential adaptability. Each meeting was punctuated by creative ideas and constructive discussions to help us push innovation ever further.
