Early Bird Pricing EXTENDED to March 5th!

Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) have become pressing priorities for foundations in Canada. How do you start? How do you move from general commitment to action? PFC is offering a new program in 2021 for Foundations that want to bring JEDI to life throughout their organization - from governance to grantmaking. Who should participate? All foundations, whether small or large, with an internal commitment to advancing JEDI through policy and concrete steps in the coming year. How can my foundation participate? When possible, foundations are encouraged to designate 2 to 3 participants from their foundation boards, foundation leaders, or foundation senior program staff to form a team that will participate in the cohort. For those foundations that are unable to form a team, individual registration is also open. 

When? From May 2021 to March 2022. For more information, visit our website
