AHP Canada Regional Director Linda Saunders, CFRE, added, "With the increases in 2007 giving, we see that more Canadians are donating at elevated levels which makes a decided difference in people's lives every day. The report bears this out in the fact that 60 percent of the funds raised in Canada were from individual givers."
