Conference Subsidies Available: Ontario Not for Profit Network Conference

March 31, 2010

Want to go to the ONN's 3rd Annual Provincial Conference but don't have the funds? If you're a low-income organization in Ontario you're invited to apply for a subsidy. Thanks to the generous support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation, we now have limited conference subsidies available to help low-income organizations from across Ontario attend our conference. These subsidies are intended to encourage a cross-sectoral, interprovincial representation of Ontario’s nonprofits so that the issues of all of Ontario’s nonprofits and charities are represented as we begin to craft a strategic action plan for our sector.
 
About the Conference:
Our Sector, Our Vision 2010, The Provincial Conference for Ontario’s Nonprofits and Charities, is selling out fast! Join the Ontario Nonprofit Network and your sector colleagues on April 12th and 13 for our third annual provincial conference: Our Sector, Our Vision 2010!  This cross-sectoral, action-oriented event will bring together hundreds leaders from the nonprofit, public, and private sectors to shape the course of Ontario’s nonprofits and charities.  We've invited many of our own to share their experiences and knowledge on a variety of topics, including: How to Build Successful Campaigns, Making Nonprofit Work a Career of Choice, Vocational Renewal, Improving Government Relations, Youth Engagement and Leadership, and much more!

This year we focus on moving ideas into action.  Since our last conference in May 2009, ONN has travelled across the province to meet with you and to learn about the issues that you, your organizations, and your communities are facing.  Together, we identified the top four priorities for Ontario’s nonprofits and charities and we are now ready to move into the next phase—ACTION!

Conference Subsidy Info
To qualify, you must work or volunteer for a nonprofit or charitable organization with an operational budget of $500,000 or less.  Please note that these are minimum criteria and ONN does not guarantee that a subsidy will be granted upon meeting these criteria. We also request to only apply if you meet these criteria, as your application will otherwise not be considered.
 
As we currently have a limited number of subsidies available, once your application has been processed and approved, we will notify you as to whether you will be receiving full or partial subsidies.  Subsidies may cover travel, accommodation, and/or registration, depending on the size of your organization, the number of applications received, your projected costs.
