When Organizations Come Together Magic Happens
Non-profit organizations realize that each day our funding streams are shrinking. Therefore, Greater Fredericton Social Innovation and Volunteer Greater Fredericton will be hosting the Partnering For Impact open space event in Fredericton on Thursday, October 20th from 10 AM - 4 PM at the Crowne Plaza.
The goal of this event is to facilitate and create strategic collaborations between non-profit organizations. During this event, representatives of various non-profit organizations will be searching for new alliances that will make us stronger and help to secure a sustainable future.
There is much to be gained through combining resources, especially if it saves you a significant percentage of your expenditures ... say office space costs, promotional product costs, equipment costs, insurance, and more.
Here is an opportunity to take a pause from the busy-ness of running a charity/volunteer business and explore where money, time, and volunteers can be shared, and overall costs reduced. But it will only work if you "let go" of the way things have always been done, and "open up" to the possibility of a new way of building your organization and community. It will be a dynamic ... and fun ... day.
This event is for Executive Directors, staff and board members of Fredericton’s non-profit community. The cost for this one day event is $30.00.
$20.00 for Volunteer Fredericton members
subsidies available.
Please attend and invite others.
Thank you,
Sandi MacKinnon
Executive Director
Social Innovation Fredericton
