This series of regional gatherings is presented by the Ontario Nonprofit Network (ONN)

It’s time again for some real talk, in real life This is not your average “conference” - Nonprofit Driven Regional Connects are small gatherings with big impacts. These are opportunities for nonprofit peers to share space and ideas for our collective well-being, explore systemic solutions locally, learn more about ONN’s work, and break bread together. Our sector continues to be intentionally under-resourced and privatized, is experiencing growing legal attacks from the community for doing its critical work, and grapples with increased scrutiny and eroding public trust. To combat the current climate of deep polarization, we must invest in building relationships to help our sector and communities thrive. Regional gatherings, co-hosted in collaboration with local partners, are an ongoing exercise in movement-building, and actively shaping the future together. 💚

# What to expect:

  • Get practical data, information about policies and trends impacting nonprofits in London and across Ontario, and discuss how these are showing up in your work and communities.
  • Make connections over the issues that matter to you - engage in conversations and learn from local peers and team members from Pillar and ONN.
  • Enjoy breakfast and lunch with nonprofit colleagues.
  • After the event, all registrants will receive slides, notes, and links to resources.
