Encouraging companies to become good corporate citizens is what Comper hopes to continue during the campaign's current chapter. In fact, it is the unprecedented response that has inspired the campaign to move its goal forward. And the significance of the campaign reaches beyond U of T's ability to grow as a research institution, says Comper. He believes it has raised the bar for Canadian philanthropy. It helps Canada, too.
Citizens benefit from research undertaken in fields such as medicine.
This is why he thinks the money raised for the campaign should only augment, and not replace, government funding. It is the best possible investment that Canadian taxpayers can make.
