In this episode
In our first CharityVillage Connects episode we explored how COVID-19 forced organizations to quickly rethink their traditional fundraising initiatives, such as in-person events and galas. In this episode, we carry the conversation further by considering the dramatic shifts currently taking place in Canadian nonprofit funding models and revenue sources, including social enterprise, so-called “patient” loans, and impact investing. In addition to discussing how these initiatives can help support administration costs and capacity building, we look at the chilling effect of the WeCharity scandal on nonprofit organizations' willingness to embrace these new models.
Join our host, CharityVillage President Mary Barroll, as she speaks to sector experts about the risks and rewards that Canadian charities and nonprofits must think about as they look to diversify their revenue and engage in alternative funding models.
