Nonprofit Driven Annual Conference
Nonprofit Driven 2022
Key Details
Dates: November 2-3, 2022
Location: Metro Toronto Convention Centre
Let’s gather in-person to reconnect, collaborate and strategize to shape the future of our sector, together.
Nonprofit Driven is not just Ontario’s largest public policy forum- it is also an important gathering for nonprofit leaders, community organizers, and policymakers to collaborate and form strategic partnerships while having a bit of fun!
This year’s conference schedule will intentionally include longer breaks and built-in opportunities for attendees, staff and supporters to connect. Through facilitated activities and quiet spaces for one-on-one conversations, art, a photo booth, and a social at the end of Day 1, there will be lots of ways for you to reunite with fellow colleagues and meet new ones!
MC’s: Erin Kang and Tamer Ibrahim
Information on our exciting sessions, capacity-building workshops and fireside chats can be found here. This page will be regularly updated as more details are finalized.

Nonprofit Driven: Care team
The conference will have an onsite care team and spaces to support attendees. The team includes ONN staff and active listeners who can be considered “go-to” people throughout the conference. All attendees will also have access to a quiet space, and mental health/wellness resources.
Active listeners: Amanda Lederle (they/them) and Donovan McKenzie (he/him)
- Amanda (they/them) is a neurodiverse, queer Chinese-Canadian born, recovering perfectionist and empathic human living in Tkaronto (Toronto). Their goal is to leave every conversation knowing that the individual feels a little more heard than when they began. Amanda loves to discuss creativity and mental health. They have been trained as a peer support, completed their Mental Health First Aid certification and is a Movies for Mental Health facilitator for Art with Impact Canada.
- Donovan McKenzie (he/him) is the founder of Heart of a Man, an organization created to help communities overcome their inner battles, elevate their voices and inspire others by sharing their struggles openly. His work aims to find ways to support and encourage those in need. He is working on rewriting the narrative of what it means to be a human struggling with emotional and mental stress, one conversation at a time, by turning his pain into purpose.
