In addition to our regular webinars, ONN hosts regional events and special events like our annual conference, Nonprofit Driven.
Regional Events
ONN is hitting the road again and we may be hosting an event in your region soon! Regional events are an opportunity for nonprofits, charities, and community organizations to deepen relationships with each other, think big picture, and work together for a thriving local nonprofit environment.

The Well Events
The Well was born out ONN’s annual conference, where for the last two years, Black, Indigenous and racialized workers came together to network, relationship build, share information and connect about the issues that were impacting their work. We are piloting an ongoing space for Black, Indigenous and racialized workers to connect year long. Access to psychological safety is a core aspect of decent work. The Well is intended to be a space where participants can network and learn about centering practices of wellness as part of accessing decent work.
Upcoming The Well event:
Storytelling and healing – October 20 from 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
This session will focus on key concepts in storytelling from Indigenous thought, critical race theory, and feminism that include: the importance of lived experience, the body as archive, and stillness and reflection in healing.
Facilitators: Maral Aguilera-Moradipour, (she/her), and Shauna Kechego-Nichols, Anishinaabe Kwe (she/her)
