April 30: A 5th Collective Day on the Financial Challenges of the Socio-Ecological Transition in Montreal!

Join us on April 30 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Les Petites Mains for a day of discussion on funding, sustainability, and autonomy within Montreal’s socio-ecological transition movement, followed by a 4@6!
To achieve and accelerate the socio-ecological transition in Montreal, sufficient financial resources must be available. Many organizations are facing financial uncertainty as they strive to maintain their operations and fulfill their missions. There is intense pressure on public institutions and the philanthropic sector to fund the transition, despite their limited capacity to act. All of this is taking place against a backdrop where the urgency to act is felt on all sides and where it is important to demonstrate solidarity, creativity, and ambition.
The collective event provides opportunities for discussion, knowledge-sharing, and ideation that go beyond simply voicing demands. It is an opportunity to reflect together on the financial context of the socio-ecological transition in Montreal and on potential collaborations to address these funding challenges. This includes both financial needs and the mechanisms and conditions for allocating funds. This event will serve as a meeting place for a diverse range of organizations and perspectives—nonprofits, citizen groups, network leaders, public and philanthropic funders, and other institutions. Together, we can transcend our respective barriers and create new avenues for action.
The objectives of the day:
-
🧠 Develop a shared understanding of the financial context and challenges in order to build on past achievements and continue coordinated efforts
-
🤝 Identify opportunities for collaboration to explore potential solutions
