The Social Planning Council of Winnipeg (SPCW) is a major asset to the community and its quality of life. The organization is a service provider, an incubator for other organizations and programs, a study centre, a policy advocate and technical aid for community groups and agencies. In its 95 year history, the SPCW has gone through a number of transformations as social and economic conditions have changed. In many ways, the organization has responded and continues to respond to the needs of Winnipeggers. The SPCW went through a process of renewal in 2011 to make sure the organization was responding to community needs. The Board and staff of the SPCW have therefore taken on the challenges of change and are implementing projects, programs and activities that are consistent with a proud tradition of social advocacy. The SPCW is governed by a 15 member Board of Directors representing different walks of life and social experiences. A staff of six work in Winnipeg’s downtown. Major core funding for the organization (annual budget of around $500,000) comes from the United Way of Winnipeg. |
