Presenting Sponsor
This year's conference will be held Monday, June 12, 2023 at the Nova Scotia Community College Ivany Campus
80 Mawiomi Pl, Dartmouth, NS
NEW one-day symposium format - in-person or virtually, includes an evening social and annual Industry Awards. In an effort to be mindful of our limited financial and human resources, as well as keeping access, diversity and inclusiveness top-of-mind, MFC will alternate yearly between our traditional two-day event and this new one-day format.
Conference Theme - “Building Back Better” and “The New Way Forward” - what do they really mean!? Our inspiring National Philanthropy Day (NPD) panel dissected these phrases and started the conversation for moving toward strategic action and positive change.
MFC 2023 will be a call to action for our colleagues in the Impact Sector/Social-Purpose Sector to put diversity, inclusion, equity and access (IDEA) to practice and commit to working more collaboratively with each other, with funders, government, and industry partners to identify and eliminate barriers. Sharing Tools to Build Success. MFC will move us toward making commitments to lending support to each other, building partnerships, breaking down barriers and working hand-in-hand to successfully deliver our respective missions.

Land Acknowledgement:
We would like to acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
