On this Giving Tuesday, I thought it would be a great time to share a series of conversations I had with new Community Co-Host Kathy Arney.

Kathy discusses some of the common challenges faced by small and medium-sized non-profits.

 

Kathy talks about the lasting effects COVID has had on the not-for-profit sector.

 

A discussion about the recent local screening of the film UnCharitable.

 

Kathy shares what the charity and non-profit picture looks like in the Bow Valley.

 

Kathy gives some tips on how people can make choices about where they give.
