Links for Non-Profits

I am providing this information to you re the Networking for Non-profits (NFN) Group and the Newsletter that I also offer as part of the group.  

Anne-Marie 

NFN group is not exclusive to the CVRD area.  The reach is Vancouver Island, Gulf Islands and beyond.  Until last year the monthly meetings were held in person once a month.  We have now switched to a Zoom meeting format that has been very successful.  This group consists of a huge voice of experience within the volunteer engaging sector.  If you have an issue or question someone will know the answer.

Topic ideas are welcome and is entirely member driven. (consists of Individuals, Groups and Organizations that are Non-Profit, For Profit, Government, Health Care and so on) 

Topics range, and include anything from Volunteer Management, Fundraising, Marketing, Leadership, Events, Self Care, Youth, Family and Senior Resources and so on. 

This is an informal group, no membership and everyone welcome.

If you are interested in signing up to receive please send me and email.  You can unsubscribe anytime.  gotoallthingsvolunteer@gmail.com.  Anne-Marie

Thetis Island Wharf - CVRD Grant Application

I am pleased to advise the Thetis Island community of a CVRD Grant application for the Thetis Island Wharf.

13 Jan. 2021 CVRD Board authorised staff to submit an application for grant funding of up to $275,000 for the Thetis Island Wharf Refurbishment Project through the Canada Infrastructure Program - COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream; and that the Board supports the project and commits to any associated ineligible costs and cost overruns through the budget for Function 490 - Thetis Island Wharf.

The funds will be awarded in 2021 and the project is to be completed by 31 Dec 2021. There will be many applications for these grant funds. I look forward to a positive result for the Thetis Island Wharf application.
