🌟 Thriving Non-Profits Show & Tell Recap! 🌟 What an inspiring week! 🎉 The Thriving Non-Profits Show & Tell brought together incredible changemakers, innovative ideas, and meaningful connections during a successful hybrid event! Last week, on November 18 and 19, we celebrated the achievements and growth of our amazing program participants over two inspiring days. From embracing a shift from scarcity to abundance mindsets to fostering collaboration and shared success, the energy in the room (and online!) was unforgettable. 🙌 🎉 Congratulations to all the organizations that completed the program! Your hard work and commitment are paving the way for a stronger, more sustainable nonprofit sector. 💡 What was your key takeaway or mindset shift from the event? Let us know in the comments! Did you feel inspired to say “Yes, AND...” instead of “Yes, BUT”? Or perhaps you discovered new ways to break old narratives and ignite partnerships? We’d love to hear your reflections! 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to our partners and funders—this would not have been possible without your support! Special thanks to Scale Collaborative, Thriving Non-Profits, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Community Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador for making this journey possible. #NLThrivingNonProfits #ShowAndTell #NewfoundlandAndLabrador #CollaborateAndThrive #NonProfitGrowth
