MICHAEL CAMPBELL Business Analyst, Author & Broadcaster
Michael Campbell is British Columbia’s most respected business analyst. He is best known as the host of Canada’s top rated business show – Money Talks – heard across the country on the Corus Radio Network. Each week, Campbell and his guests track financial trends in order to help listeners find ways to survive and thrive in today's tumultuous environment.
Campbell is also Senior Business Analyst for BCTV News on Global and a frequent contributor to the national Canada Tonight broadcast. He has also written extensively for a number of publications and is in high demand for interviews due to his outstanding track record, including calling the low on the Canadian dollar in December 2002 and the high in November 2007. Perhaps he is best known for his prescient warning in October 2007 of the coming market decline. Campbell is author of the national bestseller titled Cooking the Books with Mike: Michael Campbell’s Favourite 50 Recipes for Instant Financial Success.
Trained in New York, Campbell worked in the investment business for 10 years and has been a successful business owner. He says that making far too many amateurish investing mistakes and enduring the ups and downs of operating a business gives him an important perspective on the real world of business and economics.
Campbell is also very active as a volunteer in the community having been directly involved in a number of worthwhile causes. Currently, he spends countless hours as Chairperson of the B.C. Special Olympics.

What is a Community Foundation?
A community foundation is much like a private foundation; its funds, however, are derived from many donors rather than a single source, as is usually the case with private foundations.
Further, community foundations are usually classified under the tax code as public charities and therefore are subject to different rules and regulations than those which govern private foundations.
A community Foundation is a collection of charitable gifts both large and small. These gifts are pooled and invested and the investment income is distributed as grants to local charitable organizations.
The capital is never touched and continues to grow with each new gift, generating income to meet a wide range of community interests and needs for years to come.
Community foundations are registered with Revenue Canada as tax exempt "Public Foundations". They have a duty to account to the community for the use of the funds.
