Most nonprofits – particularly Black-led, Black-focused, and Black-serving organizations, groups, and networks (B3s) – operate in precarious financial positions. Many are faced with capacity and system-related barriers, as well as increasing demands for accountability and unrealistic expectations for demonstrating impact.

In the first edition of our quarterly blog series this year, we discuss some of the macro trends that are impacting Canada’s charities and nonprofits right now.

While diversity training and donations from companies are well intended, perspectives shared by Black, Indigenous, 2SLGBTQI, South-Asian, and South-Asian Muslim professionals inside these companies, as well as Canadian youth aspiring to work in business sustainability and CSR, uncover a different story.

To kick off the first season of our podcast, we discuss policy files from a legal perspective that will likely affect the sector in 2023 and beyond.

With this podcast, our goal is to explore topics of interest to nonprofit professionals in an accessible way, and to have insightful conversations on emerging issues affecting our sector to collectively reflect on and advance social, economic and environmental justice.

Since you may not have had the time or opportunity to read all of the stories on our Imagine 360 blog this year, and in the spirit of sharing perspectives about our sector, we’ve compiled a list of 5 insightful posts that you may have missed in 2022.
