Description
Join the Laidlaw Foundation as we honour the 10-year milestone since signing the Philanthropic Declaration of Action to support Indigenous communities. This in-person gathering at Foundation House will bring together grantees, board members, staff, and Indigenous advisors to reflect on a decade of relationship-building, learning, and systemic change.
The event will include a presentation of key insights from Laidlaw’s evaluation team, followed by a panel discussion featuring individuals who have helped shape the Foundation’s approach to Indigenous youth funding and advocacy. Together, we will reflect on our collective work, the shifts within the philanthropic sector, and the aspirations we hold for the next 10 years.
This will also be an opportunity to reconnect and engage in dialogue around the ongoing responsibilities and commitments needed to support Indigenous self-determination.
