On January 22, the Collective Impact Project invites you to participate in the webinar " The Collective Impact Project's Experience with Flexible Funding: A Conversation on the Benefits, Challenges, and Future of Less Restrictive Philanthropic Practices. " This event is organized in collaboration with PhiLab (Canadian Partnership Research Network on Philanthropy). The webinar aims to spark a conversation between funders, community stakeholders, and researchers to better understand the benefits, challenges, and impacts of less restrictive funding practices.  

Based on a research report resulting from a collaboration between PIC, TIESS, and PhiLab, several speakers will enrich the discussion, allowing for an exchange of views and deeper reflection on flexible funding based on PIC's experience.  

The webinar will be introduced by Elisabeth Robinot (Co-Director of PhiLab, UQAM) and presented by Isabel Heck (Head of Learning and Knowledge at PIC, PhiLab, CRISES). We are pleased to welcome Gabriel Salathé-Beaulieu (TIESS), Michelle LeDonne (Pathy Foundation, Philanthropic Foundations Canada), and Salwa Ben Belgacem (Parc-Extension Neighborhood Table) as panelists.
