Donations to FAIR

Toronto-based Canadian Foundation for Advancement of Investor Rights (a.k.a. FAIR Canada) has received donations from Talisman Energy Inc. of Calgary and Manulife Financial Corp. of Toronto. Manulife donated $300,000, to be paid out over a three-year period, to the investor advocacy group. The amount of Talisman’s donation was not disclosed, but FAIR Canada describes it as “substantial.” Both donations were made on an arm’s-length basis and without conditions. FAIR Canada launched its sustainable-funding campaign this past April.
