Transforming Nonprofits by Centering Indigenous Justice with Mélanie Valcin and Kristen MilleNon-Indigenous instructional methods and approaches have contributed to the colonization of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples and communities. What steps can organizations take to decolonize frameworks and center justice for Indigenous people in the nonprofit sector? In this episode of Let’s Imagine, we’re joined by Mélanie Valcin, President and CEO, and Kristen Miller, member of the board of directors of United for Literacy - a national charity focused on improving the lives of children, youth and adults through literacy. Together we dive into the organization’s mission and its historic relationship with Indigenous communities, as well as their approach to truth and reconciliation.

What do Canadians think of charities and nonprofits?

For the past year and a half, our team has been working on a public awareness campaign set to launch this Fall. To inform the campaign strategy, we conducted research to understand the perceptions of Canadians regarding nonprofits and charities. As we prepare to launch the campaign, we’re sharing key findings from this market research so that others in the sector can benefit from this insightful information and leverage it for their own needs.
