Welcome!

The Thriving Non-Profits Cohort Program is a combination of online learning, eight live virtual sessions, and seven hours of tailored coaching, to help your organization identify and develop the best strategies to bring in new funding and build financial resilience.

At a cost of $3,900 CAD per organization, the cohort program provides a structured, proven approach to enhance your organization's funding and fundraising efforts. You'll gain access to innovative strategies, tailored coaching, and a supportive community of like-minded leaders. The program not only helps you develop a personalized revenue diversification action plan but also fosters a culture of entrepreneurial thinking within your team.

Limited bursaries may be available for eligible organizations. More information can be found in question 19 and 20 of the application form.
