Credibility Isn’t Claimed. It’s Proven: Capital Markets Impact in Action

Disciplined capital leads somewhere.

Why I’m Backing Global Change for Children, and why this industry shows up when it matters

If you work in exploration, mining, or capital markets, you already understand one thing:

Credibility isn’t claimed. It’s proven.

In capital markets, impact only matters when it can be measured. It’s not about optics or good intentions. It’s about accountability, governance, and outcomes that stand up to scrutiny. That same standard applies when capital moves beyond the balance sheet and into community initiatives that deliver real, verifiable results.

That’s exactly why I support Global Change for Children Society.

This isn’t a feel-good charity wrapped in marketing language. It’s a professionally run organization led mostly by women in the mining industry that operates in line with how our industry expects capital to be managed.

No paid staff. No bloated overhead. No diluted impact.

100% volunteer-run. 100% of net proceeds go directly to defined projects.

That alone should stop you mid-scroll.

Why this matters to me

I spend my career helping companies communicate clearly with investors.

Capital in. Use of proceeds. Execution. Results.

So when I align myself with a charity, the bar is exactly the same.

I want transparency. I want governance. I want proof.

Global Change for Children delivers all three.

Since 2009, the organization has raised over $680,000 to fund children’s education, health, and community programs in Canada and internationally. These aren’t abstract initiatives. They’re tangible projects with receipts and outcomes.

Capital Markets Impact in Practice

In 2024, GC4C funded and helped build a four-room school in rural Guatemala. Not “supported.” Not “partnered.” Actually built.

The charity financed the supplies, and two board members traveled with the volunteer team to help physically construct the school. That matters.

Anyone can donate. Showing up on the ground is different.

Why the mining industry understands this model

There’s a reason GC4C’s strongest support comes from mining and exploration professionals.

This industry understands:

→ Long timelines

→ Real risk

→ Capital discipline

→ Accountability at the board level

GC4C mirrors that mindset:

→ Clear use of funds

→ Defined, vetted projects

→ No wasted capital

→ Impact that can be verified

That’s why companies return year after year. And why individual donors stay involved in the long term.

Why now is the time to give back

For many, 2025 was a strong year. Not easy. Not without volatility. But a year that created momentum.

When the industry moves forward, it creates space to give back in meaningful ways. This is that moment.

That is why we kick off every year with the industry’s favorite tradition. During Vancouver’s mining conference season, GC4C takes over Moose’s Down Under for a night that is relaxed, social, and impact-driven.

Drinks. Silent auction. Industry networking. No awkward pitches. No performative philanthropy.

Just professionals supporting something that works.

Why I’m writing this

I don’t lend my platform lightly. I support Global Change for Children because it aligns with how I think about leadership, capital, and responsibility. And because our industry is uniquely positioned to do real good when it chooses to.

So here’s my ask:

→ Donate, if you’ve had a strong year and want your dollars to matter.

→ Attend the 2026 event if you’ll be in Vancouver on January 27th. Come for the networking, stay for the auction. Purchase $25 tickets online or at the door.

→ Sponsor, if you’re a CEO or CFO and want your company aligned with accountability—and want visibility during the busiest week of the year. (DM me or, the GC4C team for details)

→ Follow the LinkedIn page to stay updated on the projects we are building and see exactly where the funds go.

This is what giving back should look like. Clear. Credible. And effective.

Real impact. Real receipts.
