Join us in Connecting for Community Impact: A Call for Board Members



LONDON, Ontario -- February 9, 2024.

Dear Community Members,

LONDON, Ontario (January 31, 2024) -- Pillar Nonprofit Network has submmitted a suite of recommendations to the provincial government that would see investment in Ontario nonprofits as ever-ready partners to government in delivering innovative solutions on public priorities in a collaborative way.

One of the things we heard loud and clear from Pillar members and the community this year -- not least through the work of Pillar's Community Advisory Panel -- was a desire to receive updates from leadership regarding the organization's operations.

London hosted the 2023 Folk Music Ontario (FMO) Conference. Almost 800 people registered for the four-day event. Making it 15% bigger than the last edition. This year also included a free three-day folk festival to include the general public.

LONDON, Ontario, October 18, 2023 -- Pillar and 28 of its member organizations have made a submission to a government committee calling for the reversal of planned cuts to Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) and a number of other improvements to the wage subsidy program that helps nonprofits deliver community benefits while supporting youth employment.

The effects of climate change are widespread, leading to long-term social, economic, and environmental impacts. For mid-sized Canadian cities, some of the major environmental impacts include food insecurity, extreme weather, and environmental pollution.

We're bidding farewell to a valued member of our team who has been instrumental in shaping the heart and soul of this organization. Over the past 14 years, Susannah’s dedication and commitment has not only enriched our community but also left an indelible mark on our mission to empower nonprofits and strengthen our local fabric. Join us in celebrating Susannah by signing this community e-card and reflecting on the impact she’s had on Pillar's evolution.- Maureen Cassidy, CEO, Pillar Nonprofit Network
