🎉 Elsie Makachiya, PhD joins Shifting Power Accelerator, Cohort 3 starting April 16! The most exciting part of this course is the collective learning experience. Every student works on an individual shifting power initiative sharing lessons with peers and sharing accountability with a community partner. I know Elsie's presence will make the course experience so much richer. In this spirit of sharing, I asked Elsie, Senior Manager at Health Innovation East, a few things: ⭐️ What excites you most about the Shifting Power Accelerator? "I hope to learn co-design approaches for partnering with colleagues from low and middle-income countries (global majority) and work together to find solutions with their expertise of critical contextual nuances and cultural considerations." ⭐️ What's one thing you hope to contribute to your peers? "The value of co-production in terms of effectiveness and sustainability of interventions. Throughout my journey, I've witnessed the power of local stakeholders actively participating in project initiatives. I've also seen the pitfalls when the insights and expertise of these stakeholders are overlooked." Join me and Elsie in the Shifting Power Accelerator starting April 16! Still undecided? Feel free to comment below or DM me (or Elsie!) with your questions. #ShiftThePower #CommunityLed #GlobalDev #NonProfits #Philanthropy #WeBeFearless

As we wind down 2023 in preparation for a new year I wanted to say thank you to our clients and collaborators and take a moment each day to celebrate and express gratitude for what we’ve achieved in 2023. In a tricky funding environment we've helped you gain 4.23 million dollars, but more importantly we’ve helped connect you to the resources, collaborators and supporters to make your ambitions reality. To export globally for the first time. To tell uncomfortable stories To change the publishing industry To employ new people To have certainty over multiple years To update your venues, market your offerings and expand your audiences. This year we've been able to navigate the sometimes confusing funding ststems together and to help the most humble and talented of you articulate your achievements. I've even been lucky enough also to have some of my own projects supported by funders- Big thanks British Council, RANT and Regional Arts Australia. And even when we haven't succeeded in funding rounds you've found the processes we use have helped you to open up other possibilities and feel more confident about tackling the task next time. Sometimes we need to engage with systems that are broken, systems that have been paralysed, overworked or put on hold, systems whose odds are stacked against us or in change. But nonetheless often hold the keys to making things possible for you. Thank-you for trusting us to navigate them together. #funding #philanthropy #systems #policy

Tonight's Changemaker Conversations wrap-up series event has left me feeling invigorated and inspired, and I couldn't help but share some reflections. In a world where conformity often feels like the norm, it's crucial to remember that each of us possesses the power to be a changemaker. We've been conditioned to fit into neat little boxes, to shrink ourselves to make others comfortable. But true change happens when we dare to take up space, when we shine our light into the darkest corners, illuminating the path forward. At the heart of being a changemaker is confidence — confidence in our ability to make a difference, to challenge the status quo, and to ignite meaningful transformation. It's about embracing the discomfort of growth and pushing beyond our comfort zones. Tonight's discussions reinforced the importance of resilience — of persisting in the face of adversity, of celebrating every setback as a stepping stone to success. For those of you within the non-profit world, you know that resiliency is your best friend. It's about being told "no" a hundred times and still having the courage to pursue that hundred and first "yes" that can change lives. Remember to be proud of your journey, proud of the communities we serve, and proud of the impact we make, no matter how small it may seem. Because it's in these moments of struggle and triumph that true change is born. So, as we continue on our individual pursuits, let's carry with us the fire that burns deep within our souls. Let's be unapologetically bold, relentlessly hopeful, and fiercely determined to create a better world for all. Together, we can move mountains. Together, we can be the change we wish to see. #ChangemakerConversations #BeTheChange #TakeUpSpace Thank you Calgary Foundation Mount Royal University Trico Changemakers Studio for having us!
