Episode 28 – Navigating Political and Economic Upheaval: Advice from Nonprofits on the Frontline In the last episode of CharityVillage Connects, we talked to government relations and fundraising experts about how nonprofits and charities can navigate the political change and economic impacts currently coming at us at such a dizzying pace. With the continued threat of tariffs from the US President Trump administration, and with both federal and provincial elections looming here at home, we thought it worthwhile to dig even deeper into the topic of governmental change and find out how nonprofit organizations across the country are coping with it all. In this episode of CharityVillage Connects, representatives from frontline organizations share their realities, concerns, and strategies for survival and transformation in these challenging times.

In this episode, host Mary Barroll explores a bit of a mystery: Why, with incredibly sophisticated technology within easy reach, are some nonprofits still struggling to adapt and take advantage of digital tools?

| 03 Aug 2024 | Trailer: Dissatisfied and disillusioned: Nonprofit professionals are unhappy at work | 00:04:01 | |
Episode 22 – Dissatisfied and disillusioned: Nonprofit professionals are unhappy at work A new report has highlighted a disturbing and perhaps surprising finding: Job satisfaction in the nonprofit sector appears to be lower than in either the private or public sector. In a sector that focuses on meaningful work, what is driving a significant number of workers to feel dissatisfied? And what does this mean for the future given the existing talent crunch and the need for recruiting younger demographics to work in the sector? In this episode of CharityVillage Connects, listen to sector experts weigh in on this concerning trend and what might be done to turn it around. Meet Our Guests in Order of Appearance

| 14 Jun 2022 | How Bill S-216 Could Transform the Canadian Nonprofit Sector Forever | 00:51:42 | |
In our last episode of CharityVillage Connects, which explored alternative revenue streams for nonprofits, we touched on a piece of legislation that, if enacted, could have a dramatic impact on how charities do their work. Bill S-216, otherwise known as the Effective and Accountable Charities Act, seeks to amend the Income Tax Act to empower charities by allowing them to more effectively collaborate with a wider range of organizations, including those without charitable status, which the Act refers to as “non-qualified donees”. Proponents of the Bill say the amendments are necessary to get rid of burdensome and expensive redtape and outdated legal bureaucracy. But the key shift proposed by Bill S-216 is much more aspirational: to eliminate the deeply-rooted and historic paternalism that many see embedded in the current rules about how charities can operate. In this episode, we speak with Senator Ratna Omidvar, sponsor of Bill S-216, and with other nonprofit sector experts to explore the pros and cons of this legislation, as well as the deeper implications of what it means for Canadian charitable organizations if it becomes law. Meet Our Guests in Order of Appearance · The Honourable Ratna Omidvar, Senator for Ontario, The Senate of Canada · Susan Manwaring, Partner at Miller Thomson LLP · Cathy Taylor, Executive Director of the Ontario Nonprofit Network · Mark Blumberg, Partner at Blumberg Segal LLP · Bill Mintram, Director Indigenous and Northern Relations at Rideau Hall Foundation · Kris Archie, Chief Executive Officer of The Circle on Philanthropy and Aboriginal Peoples in Canada (The Circle) Mary Barroll, president of CharityVillage, is an online business executive and lawyer with a background in media, technology and IP law.

Episode 24 – Reconciliation and the Nonprofit Sector: Where Are We Now?
To mark Canada’s 4th annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, in this episode, we’re checking in with Indigenous nonprofit leaders from across the country to hear what they have to say about whether any progress has been made in how the #nonprofit sector supports, funds and collaborates with Indigenous-led organizations.

A perfect storm is threatening the very foundation of Canada’s nonprofit sector. A severe shortage of volunteers has led to the cancellation and suspension of critical programming and services across Canada and, in some cases, the closure of entire organizations. In this episode of CharityVillage Connects, we explore why so many volunteers simply didn’t return post-pandemic, how current trends are impacting volunteerism in Canada, and what organizations can do to recruit new volunteers and retain those they already have.

In this episode of CharityVillage Connects, we take a hard look at the evolving nature of philanthropy and the changing role of foundations in Canada, both public and private, and how they collectively manage over $120 billion in assets. Recent research shows that many Canadians – including those within the sector itself – do not really understand how charitable foundations work, how many billions in assets they are sitting on, and how decisions are made as to who does – and doesn’t – get funding. Is it time for a shakeup in how we approach philanthropy in Canada? Tune into CharityVillage Connects to find out. Meet Our Guests in Order of Appearance

| 31 Oct 2022 | A Home in Government for the Nonprofit Sector | 00:40:33 | |
For years, many nonprofit leaders have been calling for better representation within the federal government. The hope is for a sector that has as great an impact on government policies as it does on the people and causes it serves. In this episode, we delve into the campaign for a federal “Home in Government” for the charitable sector and how, if successful, this could improve nonprofits' influence on policy that affects them directly and indirectly. We’ll also hear from the first Parliamentary Secretary for Community Development and Non-Profits in British Columbia to find out more about her work, and how a Home in Government actually looks in practice.

Episode 21 – Bill S-279: A Proposal to Measure the Diversity of Boards of Canadian Charities In 2019, the Senate of Canada published Catalyst for Change: A Roadmap to a Stronger Charitable Sector. Among its recommendations was a suggested amendment to the Income Tax Act to require charities to report on the diversity of their boards in their annual filings. Senator Ratna Omidvar, co-author of the report, has since proposed Bill S-279 to amend the Income Tax Act to do just that. Join us in this episode of CharityVillage Connects, where we talk to Senator Omidvar and other sector experts to learn more about the bill, what it would mean for charities, and the current state of equity and diversity in Canada’s nonprofit leadership.

| 22 Sep 2022 | Indigenous Leaders Discuss Truth and Reconciliation in the Nonprofit Sector | 00:51:25 | |
In this episode, upon the first anniversary of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we’ll hear unique perspectives from Indigenous leaders from across Canada on what September 30 means to them, the painful legacy it symbolizes, and how, together, we can hopefully move forward. Underlying these discussions is the role that Canadian nonprofits can play in supporting Indigenous-led charitable activities. Considering that The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada was established over 14 years ago, why has the sector failed to take a more meaningful role in an area where its support could make a real difference? Tune in to this special episode of CharityVillage Connects to hear from Indigenous leaders about how the nonprofit sector can better support, and ally with, Indigenous-led organizations and communities.

Episode 24 – Reconciliation and the Nonprofit Sector: Where Are We Now?
To mark Canada’s 4th annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, in this episode, we’re checking in with Indigenous nonprofit leaders from across the country to hear what they have to say about whether any progress has been made in how the nonprofit sector supports, funds and collaborates with Indigenous-led organizations. We’ll spotlight some powerful examples of how settler-led and Indigenous-led organizations are creating better working relationships, and hear from Indigenous leaders on what more the sector needs to do to advance reconciliation work. CharityVillage Resources From This Episode · CharityVillage Connects: How Bill S-216 Could Transform the Canadian Nonprofit Sector Forever According to Senator Ratna Omidvar, sponsor of Bill S-216, “These are big and important changes. They provide a path to get rid of the deeply embedded form of systemic racism that was contained in the Income Tax Act. In its place will be strong, accountable and effective partnerships based on mutual respect.” Bill S-216, otherwise known as the Effective and Accountable Charities Act, sought to amend the Income Tax Act to empower charities by allowing them to more effectively collaborate with a wider range of organizations, including those without charitable status, which the Act refers to as “non-qualified donees”. Proponents of the Bill said the amendments were necessary to get rid of burdensome and expensive redtape and outdated legal bureaucracy. But the key shift proposed by Bill S-216 is much more aspirational: to eliminate the deeply-rooted and historic paternalism that many see embedded in the current rules about how charities can operate. In this episode, we speak with Senator Ratna Omidvar, sponsor of Bill S-216, and with other nonprofit sector experts to explore the pros and cons of this legislation, as well as the deeper implications of what it means for Canadian charitable organizations now that it’s become law. · CharityVillage Connects: Indigenous Leaders Discuss Truth and Reconciliation in the Nonprofit Sector Please note: This podcast discusses topics that may be distressing and awaken memories of past traumatic experiences and abuse.
