Come share dreams & experiences and help us incubate & accelerate initiatives that can further strengthen social enterprises in each community.
Pillar Nonprofit Network – along with local partners Richard Ivey School of Business and United Way of London & Middlesex and provincial partners CISED in Ottawa and the Sarnia Community Roundtable – launched the “Social Enterprise for Sustainable Communities” project on November 5, 2010, thanks to a three-year grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
