This Holiday, Give the Gift of Learning

Posted on December 8, 2016

Are you looking for a unique, meaningful way to give during the holiday season? You can give a gift to share learning and inspire positive social change.

We’ve launched a special campaign to grow our Be a Light Scholarship Fund so more people with incredible talent but limited resources can attend Tamarack learning events. We want to share new ideas, tools, and resources as broadly as possible.

Your gift to Be a Light will help someone like Marnie. She’s unemployed and involved with a local poverty reduction organization in her city. Earlier this year, she heard about an upcoming Tamarack conference on poverty reduction in Edmonton that she wanted to attend.

“I wanted to find out more about what is going on in the field of poverty reduction, and wanted to meet more people who are working and volunteering in this field,” Marnie said.

Thanks to a Be a Light Scholarship, Marnie was able to travel to Edmonton to join us. She was able to share her perspectives and be part of a conversation involving mayors and community leaders from across Canada. Her voice was heard and will impact the poverty reduction strategies put forth across the country.

You can make this kind of impact for someone else like her. In 2016, we were able to provide more than 50 people with scholarships of $500 to $1,000 each. In 2017, we want to help 100 people with lived experience and incredible talent to be part of our learning events.

Please consider giving personally or asking your organization to make a contribution. Thank you for doing your part to share the learning and light up the world!
