A Day of Diversity, Solidarity and Intergenerational Collaboration

8:00am to 4:00pm
The Learning Enrichment Foundation 
116 Industry Street

This September we unite old allies and connect with new ones. We convene to connect, share, learn, collaborate and co-create a movement for sustainable social impact!

The 2019 SETSI Summit will bring together unlikely allies and the broader equity-seeking communities across the social economy landscape to build and unpack the intersectionality of our collective works and impact. Through dialogue and deliberation, we will strategize around the inclusion of the SPO’s (Social Purpose Organizations) and constituents who have traditionally been excluded from the sector. It will be a day of capacity building in which thought leaders will discuss; Self-Determination, Social Innovation, Social Finance, Social Economy, Cooperatives, RSCA’s (Rotating Savings and Credit Associations), Mutual Aid Societies, SJE’s (Social Justice Enterprises), B Corps, Community Owned Assets, Community Bonds, Social Impact Bonds, The Solidarity Economy and Collective Organizing.

The day will be full of networking and dynamic speakers.

It’s time for deeper sector collaboration.

Ontario’s nonprofit sector is a positive force on the frontlines of community challenges and opportunities, providing on-the-ground solutions to improve the lives of Ontarians.

In a time of political and economic change, communities and the people we serve need us now, more than ever.

Register for Nonprofit Driven 2019

We can’t be modest about the profound impact nonprofits and charities have on communities, nor the roles we play in tackling important issues across Ontario.

ONN has worked with the sector to create more retirement security for the province’s nonprofit labour force. We have seen inspiring sector advocacy to protect Ontario’s greenbelt and the environment, to create a national housing strategy, and to protect Canadians’ free speech and remove limits on political activities by charities.    

We are seeing grassroots organizing and activism on climate change, anti-racism, health, education, labour reforms, and more. How can we connect to these movements and strengthen the collective public policy work we do?

Let’s take this momentum to the next level.

Join us November 27- 28 for Nonprofit Driven 2019.
