LONDON, Ontario (March 14, 2023) Applications are now open for candidates seeking to join the Pillar Board of Directors.
Pillar was heartened to join with so many Londoners at last week's Public Participation Meeting of Council's Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee to comment on the City of London's draft strategic plan for 2023-2027.
With mixed feelings and deep gratitude, we announce Dharshi Lacey, VP of Diversity and Governance, will leave her role with Pillar Nonprofit Network for an exciting opportunity in Kelowna, BC.
It’s a long road to community recovery for London, and we’re not there yet. To see how far we’ve yet to go towards social and economic rehabilitation, you needn’t look further than the month-over-month rise in numbers of clients accessing the London Food Bank.
Pillar Nonprofit Network is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Calgary Chamber of Voluntary Organizations (CCVO) and Imagine Canada to work on the Boland Survey. The Boland Survey is the most comprehensive source of nonprofit sector compensation and HR data in Canada. It has helped Canadian nonprofits make data-based decisions on salary and human resource practices since 1997.
Pillar Nonprofit Network is recommending to the Ontario government that Budget 2023 include targeted measures to help build a stronger, more resilient nonprofit sector, encouraging more effective cross-sector collaboration and more effective services for Ontarians.
The first meeting of the Community Advisory Panel (the Panel) was held on January 11th, 2023. Panel members include representatives from community, philanthropic and social impact sectors (listed below). Each of the panel members has expressed personal and professional investment in ensuring the stability of Pillar Nonprofit Network (Pillar) through a time of governance and staff transition.
Over 20 years ago, Pillar was founded based on the idea that it takes all of us to come together to solve the social concerns of our times. Our work is broad, but each of our programs is unified with a central focus on finding ways to support those who are on their journeys to leaving their community better than they found it.
