In this episode, Lynn talks to Terry Cooke, President and CEO of the Hamilton Community Foundation about what is changing in Community Foundations, and how the Hamilton Foundation is leading the change.
In this episode Lynn is joined by Priyanka Lloyd, Executive Director of Green Economy Canada. As is the case for many environmentally focused agencies, Green Economy Canada was challenged to create a way of focusing their strategy and establishing what they can hold themselves accountable for achieving. In this episode, Priyanka and Lynn talk about how they achieved that and how their strategic clarity is helping to recruit business, engage communities and build the movement.
Lynn is joined by Steve Doherty and Mike Burnett from Youth Without Shelter in Etobicoke, ON. Steve and Mike detail the “500 in Five” Strategic Plan and all that went into its development. This includes the inclusion of lived voices from youth at the shelter, obtaining buy-in from top to bottom and across stakeholder groups, and the importance of pressure testing their Theory of Change. They also discuss the importance of data to evaluate the success of their programs.
In this episode we explore the origins of the success story that is The Mount Community Centre, in Peterborough, Ontario. We'll find out how a group of dreamers and volunteers transformed $25,000 in the Poverty Reduction Network’s bank account into a vibrant, 10 acre and $135,00 square foot community treasure focused on food security and affordable housing. Our guests share how the Mount came to be, and the innovative funding models used to acquire, convert and sustain it.
In this episode, Bill Young, the founder of Social Capital Partners, joins Lynn to talk about creating impact in systems. Bill’s extensive business experience and social enterprise successes have given him some important insights about learning through experimentation, pivoting as ideas and opportunities present themselves, and trusting in management teams and their Theories of Change.
