Going to second Eli Clarke's recommendation of Recast Philanthropy's Restorative Philanthropy course. Here are the 5 Reasons you should sign up for this informative and unique course NOW! 1. I know not all of you have finished your 2025 plans yet - take this course so that you can inform your work for next year with these critical concepts. 2. It is excellent for funders AND fundees - anyone and everyone in the non-profit and charitable ecosystem can learn something. It's rare to be able to come together in this way in this sector. 3. It is a mix of practical tips and tools you can start using right away and more challenging questions and ideas that will change the way you think about reconciliation and justice, leaving you pondering for days and months (like me). 4. This is a course for fundraisers, programmers, and more. I was fortunate that Evergreen Canada supported a few fundraisers and programmers to take the course together. Everyone gained something that they are taking to their jobs and sharing across the organization. 5. You will enjoy excellent facilitators in Hayden King, Tanya Rumble MPNL, CFRE, CMP, MFA-P™ and Yumi Numata. You can literally ask any question you want. They will help you, challenge you, and inspire you. Yes, this is the course you need now.
