In a world where many are hesitant to trust those different from them, nonprofits can broker trust and bridge divisions both as an employer and as a community organization. We cannot address complex issues alone or in siloes, it is up to all of us to help restore trust - we are stronger together.

Some things are too important to sell. FIFA President’s recent retreat from his private equity sale proposal shows that privatization isn’t inevitable and that sports, whether youth, recreational, or professional, shouldn’t be sold off to the highest bidder. Learn more: theonn.ca/publication/...

At the top, a starburst reads “Goal of Governance and Its Role in the Organization,” with arrows pointing down to a central circular diagram labeled “Enablers.” The center includes overlapping sections: Governance Culture, People, Structures, and Policies and Processes. On the left, “External Influences” connects to icons labeled “Broad Trends and Forces” and “Capacity Builders.” On the right, “Internal Influences” connects to “The Organization’s Circumstances” and “Work of Governance (Board essentials, Governance functions).” Arrows form a loop around the diagram, showing the interconnected relationship between external and internal influences and the organization’s governance goal.
