What inspires us to change the world of philanthropy

Harmonia Philanthropy’s efforts are guided by the principle that supporting and empowering smaller charitable organizations not only strengthens their capacity but also fosters a more vibrant, effective charitable ecosystem within Canada.  

Impact represents the profound and measurable changes we create through our support and resources offered to professional advisors, donors, and charities.

Guided by a legacy of giving

At Harmonia Philanthropy, we are inspired by the profound wisdom of Sir Winston Churchill:

You get to make a living; you give to make a life.

This guiding principle shapes our approach to philanthropy, highlighting the meaningful and rewarding experience of connecting individuals with impactful charities.

Meet the founder

Lois Graveline

Driven by a lifetime of dedication & passion for positive change.

I have lived a life and have enjoyed a 3+ decade career embracing the many faces of philanthropy. From my work with local health and social services charities to the many challenging dimensions of raising money for national and international organizations, all of these experiences have blessed me with a deep sense of gratitude followed by a steadfast determination to make things better.

My goal in creating PhilEx is to strategically and systematically shine the spotlight on charities who often go overlooked yet nonetheless are doing remarkable and high-impact work in their communities.

And at the end of the day, it’s about making ‘my dash’ – that seemingly insignificant symbol between one’s date of birth and the date of one’s passing – as meaningful as possible. My approach is rooted in celebrating what we choose to accomplish during that time, and how it benefits something or someone outside of ourselves.

My hope is that we take this journey together to “make a life” for others.
