Bill Roberts has recently joined Endowment Horizons Canada to assist Endowment Horizons
to provide services to Alberta and other area's in Canada.
Bill
has 25 years experience in the charitable sector having dedicated the past 6 years to the creation and establishment of The
Wood’s Homes Foundation. He began his career in the non-profit world as
Director of Administration in 1982. Over the intervening years his financial
management, facilities, and human and labour relations scope expanded to include funds development, marketing, and legacy
planning.
It
was the legacy planning arena that sparked Bill’s vision in creating the Foundation as the ideal structure for matching
the long term needs of Wood’s Homes and its clients with the visions and dreams of its donors. Over the years scores of supporters shared his vision and made provisions for their own legacy gifts to
support the work of charities important to them generating substantial endowment growth and millions of dollars in future
expectancies.
Bill
was instrumental in the development of several annual major fundraising events that now form the backbone of Wood’s
Homes’ fundraising activities. Through his years in donor development,
he came to appreciate that donors are much more excited about making a gift when it can be directed to a project that strongly
aligns with their personal beliefs and values. This led him to a different approach
in fundraising: an approach where donors were encouraged to talk about their interests and explore their own unique contribution
opportunities. Bill believes that the greatest opportunities lie in connecting
the dreams of prospective donors with organizations they believe in.
Bill began his career in
industry in 1969 where he progressed through sales, supervisory and financial management positions leading to a controllership
position. After 14 years he sought greater personal rewards within the charitable sector.
He
has played an advisor’s role with a range of charities in the Calgary
area. He has served on the board and is a past chair of the Calgary Women’s
Emergency Shelter Association.
