About the content creators<a href="https://www.changethegameacademy.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Change the Game Academy </a>aims to change the ‘rules’ of the development game: transferring power to communities and enabling them to shape their own future. Many civil society organizations in the Global South depend on foreign funding to do their work, which makes them vulnerable and puts them at risk of focusing on donor-driven priorities. Change the Game Academy aims to end this dependency by supporting autonomous local organisations to strengthen their fundraising capacity. They offer e-learning, in-person classroom courses, and individual coaching. Change the Game Academy was initiated by Wilde Ganzen Foundation and co-created together with CESE (Brazil), the Kenya Community Development Foundation (Kenya) and Smile Foundation (India). <a href="https://www.jnclarke.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">JN Clarke Consulting</a> is a woman and 2SLGBTQIA+ owned consulting firm, based out of Toronto (Tkaronto), Ontario, that developed the Canadian content for the Building Equity training series. Actively focused on anti-racism, reconciliation and decolonization, the firm provides expert strategy, training, coaching, and mentorship to organizations in Canada’s international cooperation sector. JN Clarke’s mission is to create confident advocates and government fundraisers. L﻿ooking to stay up to date on events and activities close to home?
