Services

Review of governance structures and policies for not-for-profit corporations to assess how anti-racist and equity-promoting they are. We apply an accessible and inclusive stakeholder and community engagement approach when conducting equity audits.

We provide education for Board members to learn about their duties, liabilities, and due diligence. Moreover, current governance models transcend outdated versions where all governance activity is perceived as sitting with the Board alone; let us share or co-design creative, equitable governance tools and processes with you.

We help all kinds of organizations become more equitable, ethical, effective, and representative of the communities they serve. We will walk you through the stages of listening, visioning, mapping resources, planning, training, implementing, and evaluating to achieve your desired outcome.

We enjoy drafting and creating articles of incorporation and plain language by-laws that encourage transparency, accountability, and member engagement. Visuals and infographics can be incorporated into your governing documents to enhance comprehension across languages and varying levels of English literacy. Similarly, we create nuanced, clear confidentiality, employment, and independent contractor agreements customized for your sector's needs.

If you are seeking to incorporate your emerging organization, we can help you with that. For existing organizations, the Ontario Not-For-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA) was just amended in October 2021, so it is a good time to review your documents. All not-for-profit organizations must review their articles and by-laws and amend them to comply with ONCA before October 2024. Federal distributing corporations must also report on various diversity indicators under Canada Business Corporations Act.
