Western Canada Fundraising Conference 2025

More info coming soon

Story Slams are no-holds-barred competitive storytelling events.

WCFC's version will be no different.

4 competitors will take the stage and have a chance to share their best, worst or just plain weirdest fundraising story.

5 random audience members will be selected to judge each story.

You'll laugh. You'll cry. And you'll learn about the power of storytelling and how you can apply it to inspire your donors to deeply connect with your cause, give more, and stay loyal to your organisation for years to come.


*Make sure to bring a little cash with you (or your smartphone) since we’ll keep up the WCFC tradition of raising money for a soon-to-be-identified charity with a 'pass-the-hat' donation (and its virtual equivalent).

Join Bruce MacDonald, CEO of Imagine Canada, for an engaging Closing Keynote session featuring Floyd Jones, Founder of Floyd Jones Enterprises and BackBlack, Duke Chang, CEO of CanadaHelps, and Sharon Redsky, Canada’s leading voice in Indigenous Philanthropy. Together, they will share their insights into the future of philanthropy, exploring both the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Attendees will have the chance to ask their most pressing questions and engage directly with the panelists on what the future holds for the sector. This session will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to tackle the evolving landscape of fundraising with new perspectives and a deeper understanding of what’s to come.
