Nonprofit Opportunity Network · A One Won Initiative
Elevating diverse,
culture-driven
community organizations.
The NON is a discovery, transparency, and collaboration platform for nonprofits led by and serving underrepresented communities — including organizations rooted in Black, Indigenous, immigrant, refugee, and racialized experiences, as well as women-driven initiatives across Alberta.
Sector infrastructure for underrepresented communities
Visibility, partnership, and readiness for diverse nonprofits
Discover
Search nonprofits led by and serving underrepresented communities — by region, cause area, and population served. Find who is active, aligned, and ready to connect.
Connect
Surface partners, opportunities, and active events within the community nonprofit space. Build referral relationships and co-delivery partnerships across cultures.
Strengthen
Support emerging organizations with tools, mentorship, readiness pathways, and practical governance resources — especially those serving communities that have historically lacked access.
The problem
Diverse, culture-driven nonprofits are doing vital work — often without the visibility they deserve.
Organizations led by and serving underrepresented communities — including Black, Indigenous, immigrant, refugee, racialized, and women-led groups — are among the most essential in Alberta. Yet many remain hard to find, under-resourced, and disconnected from the partnerships and funding that could amplify their impact.
The NON exists to change that. By focusing specifically on nonprofits rooted in diverse cultural experiences and community-driven missions, we ensure these organizations are seen, supported, and connected — not lost in a database too broad to be useful.
Organizations serving underrepresented communities are often invisible to funders and partners
Culture-driven nonprofits lack a dedicated space to be discovered by the people they serve
Women-led and community-focused groups face barriers to partnership and collaboration
Emerging organizations in racialized communities need mentorship and governance support tailored to their reality
