Webinar: What is the COVID-19 emergency aid revealing about the social impact sector modernization agenda?

On April 28, 2020 we hosted a webinar with special guest Senator Ratna Omidvar.

In June 2019, the Canadian Senate released Catalyst for Change: A Roadmap to a Stronger Charitable Sector, a first-of-its-kind report for non-profits and charities. With 42 recommendations in a range of areas, this synthesis is the extraordinary work of senators who engaged a range of funders, executives, frontline professionals, volunteers, and public servants in order to understand the opportunities and pain points facing the sector.

It’s only been 9 months since the report was released but it feels like the world has changed—our institutions, frontlines, funding tools, service delivery, and advocacy will not be the same. So, what does this mean for the recommendations and the report? What recommendations are worth revisiting as a result? What is the pandemic crisis revealing about gaps in the modernization agenda from 2019? What are the lessons in preparedness and adaptation for the sector?

Future of Good publisher Vinod Rajasekaran spoke with Senator Ratna Omidvar in an insightful, forward-looking conversation.
