Nonprofits contribute 8-9% of Canada's GDP & employ 14% of Canadian workers, but some @CityofLdnOnt Councillors still call them 'nice-to-have.' Kudos to Councillor Skylar Franke for proposing that Community Grants should come from the Economic Development Reserve Fund. #LdnOnt
"Pillar is calling on...Londoners to push back against a city proposal that could see $500,000 a year in community grants cut to $250,000 at best and zero dollars at worst."

Volunteerism fosters social cohesion, but nonprofits lack resources to rebuild programs post-COVID. If #LdnOnt Council keep Community Grants, nonprofits could apply for funding to support these efforts. Ask your Councillor to restore Community Grants: https://t.co/d8CCXZdTpK
Nonprofits contribute 8-9% of Canada's GDP and employ 14% of all Canadians who have a job. Sounds like more than a nice-to-have for us. Don't let #LdnOnt City Council leave nonprofits languishing.

Where did folks get the wild idea that tax dollars are padding the wallets of wealthy nonprofit workers? Investment in nonprofits ensures someone shows up to do the hard work our communities need.
