The nature of environmental advocacy is rapidly changing, requiring
skilled, informed and resourced leadership capable of meeting the
challenge of our times. This is why we are invested in directly
supporting environmental leaders across Canada.
The TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF) Leadership
Program aims to enhance the organizational capacity of environmental
organizations through a Leadership and Organizational Development
Course. As part of the program, there will be a 4.5 day in-person course
(November), followed by a series of webinars to continue building
on your skills.
As one of the only national programs of its kind, entirely focused on
the environmental sector, the program will help you move beyond
day-to-day activities to build a stronger, more vibrant organization
with greater impact.
At least fourteen leadership grants will be awarded as part of this
program, covering the cost of the course, as well as travel and
accommodations. A minimum of two participants from each of TD FEF’s
seven regions will be selected – Pacific, Prairie, Ontario North and
East, Western Ontario, Greater Toronto Region, Quebec and Atlantic.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Must be mid- to senior level from an incorporated environmental organization
- Applicants should be leaders/innovators in their organization or field
- Preference will be given to participants working at an organization with an annual operating budget of less than $5 million that has previously received project funding from TD FEF or TD Bank Group
- Applicants must have the endorsement of their Executive Director, or a Board Member in the case that the applicant is the Executive Director.
**We encourage equity-seeking candidates to apply, believing in the need for more diverse leadership in the environmental sector
