On May 5, 2026, nineteen nonprofit leaders from the Fair Funding for Nonprofits coalition convened on Parliament Hill to advocate for more equitable and effective federal funding for nonprofits. The ultimate goal? To allow nonprofits to better serve their communities.

In this episode of Let's Imagine, host Bruce MacDonald is joined by Alain Mootoo, Chief Operating Officer of the CAMH Foundation to explore why representation in fundraising teams matters strategically; how lived experience shapes the way trust is built with donors and communities; and what it looks like to create genuine pathways to fundraising leadership for people from marginalized backgrounds.

In this episode of Let's Imagine, host Bruce MacDonald is joined by Willa Black, who founded the program while at Cisco and now serves as Volunteer Chair of Connected North's Advisory Board, and Paul Boucher, a member of the Rocher River people, residential school survivor, Knowledge and Language Keeper, and Language and Cultural Specialist at Paul William Kaeser High School in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories.
