Are your impact measurement practices good enough?
Come and learn about the Common Foundations -- five essential practices that are a minimum standard for impact measurement!
The Common Approach to Impact Measurement is a community of non-profits, social enterprises, grant makers, investors and academics building a better way to measure social impact. Using this flexible standard will allow social purpose organizations to effectively tell its story, communicate with a wide variety of stakeholders and operate in a high impact manner.
The Common Approach, in collaboration with CCEDNet, is excited to present this webinar as part of the Common Approach Webinar Series on Zoom. In this one hour session, Margerit Rogers of CCEDNet will take an in-depth look at one of the four standards being promoted by the Common Approach to Impact Measurement - the Common Foundations. This work is being led by Common Approach’s partner CCEDNet. The webinar will take place on October 15, 2020 @ 1:00pm EDT.
The COVID-19 crisis has been a wake up call for governments and civil society. The disproportionate impacts of the pandemic to health, the economy, environment and society as a whole are being experienced by individuals, families and communities across the country and the globe. As we look to recovery and approach the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty on October 17th, how can we ensure one which is transformational, equitable and sustainable?
A Just Recovery for All, a movement born out of the crisis and puts people first, to date has over 200 Canadian organizations as signatories to the six principles. Join speakers from member organizations of this movement - Climate Action Network, Citizens for Public Justice and The Leap, to discuss the framework and what it means for collectively ending poverty and creating lasting systems change.
A growing network of Canadian organizations and professionals are exploring Social Acquisitions for Business Recovery (SABR), a strategy that sees conventional enterprises transition into social purpose enterprising forms (like a co-op, a social enterprise, a charity, a non-profit, or any combination of the same).
Join to hear about hard work being done and opportunities being created to Activate and Design SABR solutions, participate in some engaging social innovation activities that will spark your creativity, and forge powerful new connections with Canadian professionals who are leading the charge in Social Acquisitions for Business Recovery. All are welcome!
This event is designed to engage the entirety of the Leadership Legacy Lab Community from across Canada, including stakeholders in social enterprise and co-operative development, small business succession and recovery, and social finance.
This webinar is presented by CMC’s Canada’s Emerging Co‑operators. The study Co‑operatives and Mutuals in the Age of Uncertainty done by Co‑operatives and Mutuals Canada in collaboration with Abacus Data, clearly shows that millennials and post-millennials share the values associated with the co‑operative model, but don’t know much about it. In this webinar, engaged young co‑operative professionals, will share their answers to some of the following important questions and many more!
How can we raise the profile of the co‑operative sector and introduce it to the next generation of members, consumers and citizens?
To be attractive to millennials and post‑millennials, are today’s co‑operatives promoting enough the foundational principles and values at the origin of the co-op movement?
Could an emphasis on the values and principles attract the next generation of leaders and help them meet the demands of socially conscious consumers?
What challenges and opportunities does the sector face?
