Jim Traves

CPA, CMA

Coming from a wealth of experience across many industries, Jim enjoys strengthening fund development programs by answering questions about Canada Revenue Agency regulations, Gift Acceptance Agreements, along with policies, guidelines and terms of reference.

When working with finance and trusts at the University of Saskatchewan, Jim shared the importance of ensuring donors know the impact of their gifts, an area Jim thoroughly understands as a previous long-time member of the Canadian Association of Gift Planners. His knowledge of donor relations combined with his accounting experience means that his expertise has been sought both on campus and by charities in the broader community.

When Jim’s not keeping up with the latest sector news or mastering Excel codes, you’ll find him out fishing.
