Grant description:

DiverseCity onBoard – a program of DiverseCity: The Greater Toronto Leadership Project, and a joint initiative of Maytree and the Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance – connects highly qualified candidates from visible minority and under-represented immigrant communities with governance positions in agencies, boards, commissions and nonprofit organizations across the Greater Toronto Area.

Building on DiverseCity onBoard program’s success in Toronto, and demand from around the world, a grant from the Foundation will enable the dissemination, seeding, and mentoring to partners in other cities in Canada.
