Impacts on Governance Design
for Nonprofit Organizations
Ontario Nonprofit Network
There are broad trends and forces that arc through the nonprofit ecosystem. Many of these are familiar because they have been signals of change for over a decade; yet the COVID-19 pandemic has made the call to action even louder. These trends and forces are urgent and game-changing for the design of governance, and converge to create six impacts that shape nonprofit organizations’ governance design - its culture, people, processes and structures. This resource enables nonprofit leaders to proactively respond to the impacts by reflecting on how they play out in their own organization’s governance - or should in the future.

Recording: Building Diverse & Equitable
Nonprofit Boards
Charity Village & Imagine Canada
Earlier this year, Statistics Canada released the results of a survey exploring the diversity of charity and nonprofit boards in Canada. The results confirmed what many in the sector already know – that those who identify as immigrants, persons of colour, LGBTQ2+ individuals, persons with a disability, and First Nations, Metis, and Inuit are vastly underrepresented on nonprofit and charity boards of directors. Charity Village and Imagine Canada hosted a panel discussion where they discuss the implications of these findings and what organizations can do to build a more diverse and equitable sector, starting with their boards.
Panelists include the Honourable Ratna Omidvar, Senator for Ontario and Deputy Chair of the Special Senate Committee on the Charitable Sector; Tania Cheng, Imagine Canada board member; and Trish Mandewo, Coquitlam City Councillor and Founder and President of Synergy on Boards Consulting Group.

Support Ontario’s Museums
this Holiday Season!
As museums across Ontario face the challenges of reopening safely and renewing relationships with your communities, the OMA is here for you, now and as we move forward.
This year, the OMA:
- successfully advocated for federal emergency support funding through the Museums Assistance Program, the early and streamlined release of Community Museum Operating Grant (CMOG) funds in 2020 and 2021, and for an additional $2 million to support digital activities during pandemic closures.
- hosted our second virtual edition of the OMA Annual Conference and ensured all members could access the Annual Conference by offering fully subsidized registration.
- increased access by providing bursaries for the 2021 Indigenous Collections Symposium and increased the Certificate in Museum Studies course bursary from 1 to 5 students for this year.
- provided timely and relevant information to our members as news, regulations, and updates were released, ensuring that our members stayed up-to-date on changing legislation and requirements.
- 36 eNews Alerts to date in 2021
- 52 ONmuseums e-newsletters per year

| As an organization of provincial scope, the Ontario Museum Association recognizes that its members and community live and work on the lands and territories of Indigenous peoples. Toronto, where the OMA offices are located, is the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, Haudenosaunee and the Huron Wendat. We wish to express our gratitude for the resources we are using and pay respect to the rich and ongoing Indigenous history of what is now Ontario and Canada. |
