In the heart of Toronto, a transformation is underway. OpenROM isn't just a renovation; it's a renaissance of culture and community, a testament to the power of philanthropy and vision. As a leader in the recruitment industry, I see a parallel in the way we approach talent acquisition and the ambitious OpenROM initiative. Just as the ROM is creating a space that welcomes all, we in recruitment strive to create opportunities that are accessible and enriching. The museum's expansion is akin to the growth of a company – seeking out new talent, building on existing foundations, and aiming for a future that's inclusive and inspiring. The Hennick Family Foundation's historic donation is a reminder that success often hinges on the support of those who believe in your mission. In recruitment, we are those believers, investing in human capital, nurturing potential, and celebrating the collective achievements that drive us forward. As we anticipate the ROM's new chapter, let's reflect on our roles as architects of change. How can we, as industry leaders, foster environments that encourage growth and innovation? What can we learn from this landmark project to apply in our quest for talent and excellence? Share your thoughts on how cultural projects like OpenROM can inspire best practices in our industry. What parallels do you see in your work? Let's discuss the intersection of culture, community, and the future of talent acquisition. #Innovation #Culture #Recruitment
Today, we announce OpenROM: a multifaceted initiative to create a destination cultural and civic hub in the heart of Toronto. Featuring a dramatic new entrance, sweeping and sunlit gathering spaces, additional galleries and a performance forum, OpenROM will revitalize the Museum's main floor and be fully animated by programming and performances. Once completed, the first floor of the Museum will be free for all to enjoy, year-round. Work begins in early 2024, and the Museum will remain open to visitors throughout the 3-year construction period. Funded by private philanthropy, this landmark revitalization project has been catalyzed by a $50-million donation from the Hennick Family Foundation – the single largest cash gift in ROM’s history.

Today through Wednesday, I’m matching all donations to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum's The Never Forget Fund. It's been 23 years since the 9/11 attacks, and the bravery, compassion, and resilience we saw that day and in its aftermath are still inspiring. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is dedicated to honoring those who were killed, and the first responders, recovery workers, and volunteers who rushed to help others. It’s a mission to which I remain deeply committed, especially as new generations grow up knowing the history only through the stories that we share. https://lnkd.in/eWKy-rHF

From this new Council on Foundations "Coming Together, Not Apart" report: "Division in the United States is certainly not a recent development, but for the past 15 years or so, the U.S. has seemed seized by a novel strain of discord. Particularly since the 2016 election, headlines about toxic polarization— defined here as an “us vs. them” partisan mindset and contempt for political outgroups—have been published ad nauseum. The dynamics of this polarization have been linked to the backsliding of American democracy, as well as a steep rise in political violence. While the connection between toxic polarization and these phenomena may be indirect, there appears to be something unique to the political, media, and societal systems of the United States that is causing toxic polarization to play out in these ways. "From 2016 to 2020, philanthropy invested $9.4 billion to promote democracy, more than twice the total from the previous five years, and philanthropic initiatives aimed at fostering belonging and social cohesion proliferated. "In an October 2023 survey commissioned by the Walton Family Foundation, more than 8 in 10 said they worry about how divided our society is becoming. But they are not resigned to division: Almost 9 in 10 (88%) also said people need to be willing to work together with those holding different beliefs, 2 out of 3 said we can overcome big challenges together if we try, and 8 in 10 said it’s important to listen to people with different opinions." #division #socialcohesion #communitybuilding #pluralism #interfaith #hatecrime #polarization #conflicttransformation #democracy #belonging #inclusion

How can philanthropy shift from good intentions to real, transformative support? Our latest animation sheds light on the often unseen challenges that grassroots organizations face when seeking support from philanthropic institutions. Funders must shift their practices to meet grassroots movements where they’re at, without turning movements into technical and bureaucratic projects. What practices is your organization implementing?
