Association of Fundraising Professionals -- NL

Join John Wong to learn how to increase IDEA within fundraising and public awareness of the importance of philanthropy in all cultures.

With the pandemic, civil unrest and racial injustice having challenged the charitable and nonprofit sector to seriously reconsider how we approach philanthropy for the sake of the people and communities we serve, we’re witnessing a critical need for us to re-examine how we engage with matters relating to inclusion, diversity, equity and access (IDEA) … and listen and learn.

This one-hour session is intended for charities and nonprofits who are thinking of developing their IDEA policy, or are in the process of creating one but have come to the realization that it’s more than just developing a new policy and ticking a box, or it&#x27;s the “right thing to do”. And, it’s both an objective and process with the potential of creating new awareness and understanding, learning, and education and training, with the opportunity to build a new culture to strengthen their organization’s impact.
During this session John will share:
<ul><li>How Brilliant Labs developed their IDEA policy, and lessons learned.
</li><li>Turning words into action.
</li><li>Leadership opportunities for nonprofits and our sector.
</li></ul>
