Mentoring is about harnessing the philanthropic sector’s skills to benefit the next generation of fundraising leaders!
To improve our services to members, we implemented a free mentoring scheme. We developed a new way of supporting you as you seek professional skills by allowing you to be supported by a mentor: an experienced professional who conforms to our code of ethics.
The mentor aims to develop excellence standards to make you a better philanthropy professional. He or she has a number of different objectives:
- Build your confidence
- Help clarify the goals you are pursuing
- Help you develop to your full potential
- Offer counsel on the basis of shared confidential information
- Provide new knowledge
- Expand your network
The mentor’s main role is not to find the answer to your questions, but to prompt you to think differently and evolve in a new and better direction. His or her actions are concerned with both your social skills and your well-being.
2023 Program
The mentoring program has resulted in many matches over the years. We invite you to take a look at the 2023 Program.
The call for candidate is now closed.
The 2023 Mentoring Program will be starting on January 1st, 2023, for one (1) year (renewable upon request).
