London, ON — Pillar Nonprofit Network (Pillar) has submitted a written brief to the Ontario’s Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs, calling on the provincial government to strengthen its partnership with the nonprofit sector in the lead-up to the 2026 Ontario Budget.
As the Business Cares Food Drive marks its 26th anniversary, the need for community support continues to grow. This year, Pillar Nonprofit Network is leading the Nonprofit Cares initiative for the first time, working alongside Business Cares to bring local nonprofits together in support of the London Food Bank.
In honour of Earth Day, SCAN! (Seniors for Climate Action Now) London gathered with community members at Innovation Works for a powerful documentary screening that brought climate action to the forefront in a deeply moving and accessible way.
For many in London, October 26, 2024, marked more than just a date on the calendar—it was the day the city saw its very first Diwali Mini-Market, thanks to The Cultural Gully and support from the Inclusive Community Events Program (ICEP).
At the November 18 Public Participation Meeting for the 2026 City Budget, Pillar CEO Maureen Cassidy spoke on behalf of the nonprofit sector. She acknowledged the real pressures facing Council, while also highlighting an important opportunity to recognize nonprofits as true partners, not just service providers.
Good afternoon Mayor Morgan, Councillors, and Budget Committee members.
My name is Maureen Cassidy, and I'm here today on behalf of Pillar Nonprofit Network
and the thousands of nonprofits, charities, and grassroots groups serving every
neighbourhood in this city.
