Testimonial

"Nicole Salmon walks on water. As a small NGO working on domestic HIV and Rehabilitation issues, CWGHR needs to both conserve and increase our unrestricted revenue streams. Nicole was able to provide an analysis of our situation and provide insightful and strategic recommendations for us to secure our financial sustainability, diversify our unrestricted funding and how we could get the best value for money. We will certainly continue our relationship with Nicole as both a friend and as someone we can call upon for professional and sage advice in the future."
David Salter
Former Co-Chair, Canadian Working Group on HIV and Rehabilitation (CWGHR), now Realize Canada
“Nicole Salmon has been a leader, a mentor and an advocate with Food For The Poor Canada over the last six years. I first met Nicole when I engaged her as interim Director of Philanthropy. First in that role, and in the following years, she has supported the leadership and the growth of FFP Canada with the wisdom and knowledge of a seasoned, passionate, current, creative fundraiser and leader. I continue to connect with Nicole both as a mentor, and friend. She is an influential leader in the charitable sector.”
Samantha Mahfood
Founder and Outgoing Executive Director Food For The Poor Canada
“As a non-profit housing provider navigating a challenging fiscal environment, Nicole and her team stepped in to provide ‘just the right’ level of support needed to overcome a few bumps in the road – specifically onboarding a development and fundraising leader into the organization in a challenging human resources environment and in making crucial, responsive decisions to meet demanding stakeholders. Her expertise provided Fife House with a tailored approach like no other – we are truly grateful for her keen attention to the social justice and equity needs of our organization. Thank you!”

The work I do allows me to live out and connect to my highest values. I feel fortunate that what I do reflects who I am.

Philanthropy is love expressed as compassion, generosity and action. It is expansive and inclusive and philanthropic expressions are boundless.

The essence of philanthropy has been co-opted. It’s time for a reset.

Let’s shift the narrative and move beyond the existing limits of what philanthropy is and who are acknowledged as philanthropists.

Have a listen to Nicole as she shares an early memory of philanthropy in action
