Connecting Hubs for Collective Impact is a new year long project made possible through the funding from the Waterloo Region Community Foundation. Connecting grassroots community hubs and hub-like initiatives was our dream! We cross paths with may mutual-aid entities, some are formal organizations and some are unique grassroots hubs. Most are struggling with resources. We hope to join our minds and hearts and envision our common future, while supporting Indigenous leadership and land-based being in the world to amplify the impact of joint advocacy and mutual aid.

“Being part of the Civic Hub has connected us with many people and groups, allowing us to collaborate, support one another, and better understand challenges in housing, settlement, diversity, the environment, food security, Indigenous issues, and more. It’s an invaluable gift, offering space, support, and true community connection.” Mo Markham, Waterloo Region Climate Initiatives
“Women of Dignity International (WODI), a Black women-led organization, partnered with the Civic Hub in 2024 and it’s been the best step for our community. With space for training, food programs, youth services, and our Cookcraft Summer Session, the Hub has helped us thrive and serve over 500 members.” Mercy Itohan Osayi, Women of Dignity International_ _ _
Civic Hub has been funded by the Upstream Fund since 2023.
