Building Organizational Capacity for the 2 Spirit in Motion Foundation

EF 2019-20 · 2019-08-30

Résumé
This 31-month project will address through the first phase organizational capacity needs of the 2-Spirits in Motion Foundation (2SiMF) and promote collaborative knowledge generation and dissemination amongst Two Spirit peoples and organizations in order to foster the creation of a safe and supportive environment for Two Spirit peoples in Canada. Organizational capacity building will be enhanced through the development of a strategic plan to advance 2SiMF’s finance, governance and human resource management structures, as well as disbursement of micro-grants to strengthen the capacity of locally and regionally engaged two-spirit organizations in Canada. A national Two Spirit gathering will inform priority setting for future policy and planning. The second phase of the project will allow the organization to expand its ability to undertake key activities through enhanced governance, networking, collaboration, and advocacy measures within the 2 Spirit community in Canada. The additional funding of $40,000 will be used to hire an Indigenous owned law firm to give legal guidance in redeveloping the organization’s bylaws. These bylaws will contribute to adapt the governance structure to the important growth of the organization. An Indigenous staffing company will be hired to carry national recruitment campaign to recruit a permanent Executive Director for the organization. Increased coverage of the Executive Director and Administrative Coordinator salaries will be supported by this additional funding.

Description (French)
Ce projet d’une durée de 31 mois répondra aux besoins des 2 Spirits in Motion Foundation (2SiMF) en matière de capacités organisationnelles et favorisera la production et la diffusion de connaissances en collaboration entre les organismes et peuples bispirituels afin de favoriser la création d’un environnement sûr et favorable pour les peuples bispirituels au Canada. Les capacités organisationnelles seront davantage renforcées grâce à l’élaboration d’un plan stratégique visant à faire progresser les structures de financement, de gouvernance et de gestion des ressources humaines de la 2SiMF, ainsi qu’au versement de microsubventions pour renforcer la capacité d’organismes bispirituels canadiens engagés aux échelles locale et régionale. Un rassemblement national des organismes bispirituels permettra d’établir les priorités futures en matière de politiques et de planification. Le financement additionnel pour la deuxième phase du projet permettra à l’organisation d’élargir sa capacité à entreprendre des activités clés grâce à une gouvernance, un réseau, une collaboration et des mesures de promotion améliorés au sein de la communauté bispirituelle au Canada. Le financement supplémentaire de 40 000 $ servira à embaucher un cabinet d’avocats appartenant à des Autochtones pour la prestation de conseils juridiques dans le remaniement des règlements de l’organisme. Ces règlements contribueront à adapter la structure de gouvernance à la croissance importante de l’organisme. Une entreprise de dotation autochtone sera embauchée pour mener une campagne nationale de recrutement dans le but de recruter une directrice générale ou un directeur général permanent pour l’organisme. L’augmentation de la couverture des salaires de la directrice générale ou du directeur général et de la coordonnatrice ou du coordonnateur administratif sera soutenue par ce financement supplémentaire.
