The capital gets put to work, the organization repays it over time, and the people who believed in the mission early share in the return. It's collaboration, structured as capital.Join ACBN for an invitation-only session on how this model works, and how it can be a meaningful tool for nonprofits and community organizations exploring sustainable, community-rooted funding.We'll use ACBN's own Affordable Housing Project in Woodstock, Ontario as a working example how an organization can leverage land it holds to raise a community bond, fund operations, and build a long-term asset that creates wealth for the community it serves.In this session, we'll cover:• What a community bond is, and how it's different from a grant, a donation, or a traditional loan• How an organization's existing assets land, property, or other holdings can become the foundation for raising community capital• ACBN's Affordable Housing Project as a real, in-progress example: the model, the structure, and what we're learning• How collaboration between nonprofits, investors, and community members makes this kind of capital possible• Questions and open discussion bring your own organization's situation to the table This is a working session, not a lecture. We want this room thinking about how this model could apply to your own organization's assets and goals. Seats are limited and by invitation only.WHO SHOULD ATTENDNonprofit leaders, community organizations, and community members interested in understanding alternative, collaborative funding models for mission-driven work.HOSTED BY Ryan Knight, Executive Director, Afro Caribbean Business Network (ACBN) QUESTIONS ryan.knight@acbncanada.com | 647-225-3309 Upcoming event dates:Hamilton: September 13https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/hamilton-the-power-of-a-community-bond-investment-tickets-1996822980287Durham: September 26https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/durham-the-power-of-a-community-bond-investment-tickets-1998165856867Learn More: <a href="https://acbncanada.com/acbn-affordable-housing/" title="https://acbncanada.com/acbn-affordable-housing/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://acbncanada.com/acbn-affordable-housing/</a>
