Calgary Humane Society: 12 Days of Giving
The holiday season is all about giving, and at Aspire Wealth Partners, we are thrilled
The holiday season is all about giving, and at Aspire Wealth Partners, we are thrilled to continue our tradition of the 12 Days of Giving in 2025
In place of sending Christmas cards, we are embracing a tradition that reflects our core values and commitment to the Calgary community. Over 12 days, every other business day leading up to Christmas, and then daily during Christmas week, we will spotlight a charity chosen by one of our team members. Each organization holds personal meaning and embodies the true spirit of giving back. To support their important work, each featured charity will receive a minimum donation of $1,000. Together, we celebrate a season of gratitude, generosity, and community impact.
On the third day of giving, Paul Duff, our Senior Investment Advisor, nominated Partners Relief & Development Canada.
Why? “I chose this year’s charity as a father to three young children who will grow up in a peaceful, conflict-free country and be given access to many opportunities that so many kids in this world won’t have,” said Paul. Partners Relief & Development Canada estimates there are 473 million children who won’t have that same opportunity and are helping change this by investing in some of the most vulnerable conflict-affected communities on Earth.
Since Partners Relief & Development was founded in 1994, they have been active in conflict zones in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Prioritizing the hard-to-reach places where other organizations aren’t present, they respond rapidly during crisis events to provide emergency relief.
Working through local partners and directly with these communities affected by war, they join hands to co-develop solutions that sustainably transform community wellbeing, improving access to health care and education and creating a nurturing environment for children to flourish. Their impact last year was seen across eight countries, 32 projects, with 546 thousand people helped.
Please follow along on our LinkedIn page and our website as we highlight a new charity until December 24th.
From the entire team at Aspire Wealth Partners, we wish you and your family a very happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year.

More than one-fifth of Canadians over the age of 18 are living with disabilities,1 often with special needs which can entail significant costs. There is a vast network of supports, programs and tax rules designed to assist Canadians and ease the financial burden that can sometimes accompany a disability, but the opportunities available and how to access them are not always obvious. While not exhaustive, this article highlights a few federal programs that families affected by disabilities may find useful.
A Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) is a tax-sheltered savings vehicle designed to help families ensure the long-term financial security of a loved one affected by disability.
