Guiding Generosity: Meet Grant Strachan
At GiveWise, generosity is made possible by the people who champion it — and this month, we’re excited to introduce you to Grant Strachan, a member of the GiveWise Board of Directors. By day, he’s an Executive Financial Consultant and Division Manager for one of Canada’s largest wealth management firms. By passion, he’s all about making generosity accessible, intentional, and impactful.
“The idea of empowering people to give in ways that align with their values really resonated with me.”
What excites Grant most about the future of generosity in Canada is how technology is reshaping the way we give. He sees a shift happening:
“I believe we’re moving toward a culture where generosity is woven into everyday life, not just something we do occasionally.”
For Grant, generosity isn’t about how much you give — it’s about why you give.
“Even small acts can create ripples of change.”
That’s why GiveWise resonates so deeply with him.
“GiveWise is not just a platform — it’s a movement that helps people connect their resources to causes they care about, in a way that’s simple yet deeply meaningful.”
He believes platforms like GiveWise are opening doors for Canadians to give in ways that are smarter, more collaborative, and more impactful.
In his own world, Grant is inspired daily by friends and colleagues who are finding creative ways to help others — from sharing skills and time to rallying support for local initiatives.
And when he’s not advising clients or championing generosity, you might find him cycling (he clocks about 5,000km a year 🚴), sipping an Americano, or traveling with his family. One of his favorite recent adventures? Yosemite. His guiding quote says it all: “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”
