February 2025 – Identity-Based Data Collection: Understanding the “Why”
Identity-Based Data Collection: Understanding the “Why”
Thursday, February 6, 10:00am-12:00pm
Zoom
In today’s increasingly diverse communities, organizations must ensure their services are equitable, inclusive, and responsive to the unique needs of those they serve. Identity-based data collection is a powerful tool to achieve these goals, enabling agencies to understand their client populations, identify gaps in service delivery, and address systemic inequities. However, discomfort or uncertainty around collecting this type of data often limits our ability to do so.
This session will equip your staff with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to collect identity-based data effectively, so your agencies can serve your communities equitably, meet evolving needs, and drive meaningful change.
This session is for: all non-profit leaders and front-line workers who want to better serve diverse communities.

November 2022 – Unlocking the Power of Planned Giving
Speaker Bio: Paul NazarethOctober 2022 – Making Your Case to Secure Support
Why is fundraising so hard? Fundraising successfully requires us to step outside of our own heads and speak in terms our donors will understand. Because this is so difficult, many of us default to messages based on how our organizations look and sound to us. It’s logical. It’s factual. But it does not motivate donors. If you want to write fundraising material that will create dedicated supporters, you won’t want to miss this workshop! Join the experts from V Formation and learn how to write a two-page, donor-focused letter for foundations, businesses, and individual supporters.
Speaker Bios: Neil Hannam, MA, CEO

Neil completed a Master’s degree in 2013. His thesis focused on organizational transformation.

September 2022 – State of the Sector report
In May 2022, the Ontario Nonprofit Network (ONN) and l’Assemblée de la Francophonie de l’Ontario (l’AFO) engaged nonprofit Community Researchers to conduct a bilingual survey of Ontario nonprofit organizations. The focus was on the experiences of nonprofits between April 2021 and March 2022, with regards to their financial health, staffing and volunteers, and general operations. This followed three previous surveys conducted by ONN and l’AFO in 2020 and 2021.
Nonprofits in Ontario are in the midst of confronting fallout from the pandemic – unprecedented demand for services, a domino effect of record breaking inflation, deepening financial precarity, and a relentless HR and volunteer crisis. It’s clear that current solutions are not working; the sector’s health is worsening. There is an urgent need for a coordinated sector response and long-term public policy solutions to not only mitigate challenges nonprofits are facing now, but also to prepare us for future emergencies. Without action, the erosion of Ontario’s critical social infrastructure will only speed up.
The survey was conducted between May 11 and June 3, 2022 and received approximately 1,500 responses. It was open to all nonprofits, charities, and grassroots groups in Ontario with a mission to serve a public benefit. This includes volunteer-run organizations, nonprofit social enterprises, and nonprofit cooperatives. In an effort to shine a light on the specific impacts on organizations and groups that are often overlooked and underrepresented in policymaking due to systemic racism and colonialism, this year respondents were asked to indicate if they identified as Black-lead, -serving, and/or -focused, and/or Indigenous-led,-informed, -benefitting, or -partnership (B3 and I4 for short). Subsequently, three per cent of respondents identified as B3 organizations and two per cent as I4 organizations. We will continue to build on this data, working with network partners.
