Cortes Social Profit Network Gathering: From Edge to Opportunity: Collective Pathways for Social Impact

Cortes, Quadra, and Surge Narrows, social profits are already shaping vibrant possibilities — from co-ops and housing societies to childcare initiatives, education programs, and the social infrastructure that holds our communities together.

At the same time, like many rural and edge communities, we face pressing challenges: limited autonomy, scarce capital, human capacity gaps, and urgent needs for housing and physical infrastructure.

This gathering is an invitation to step into this pivot point together — to align frameworks, clarify the landscape, and be inspired by what is working elsewhere. With the wisdom of our region and the insights of two nationally recognized leaders, we’ll explore how to tend what is already growing here, and how to resource and expand the social infrastructure that sustains us.

Registration deadline: September 25 (limited spots available)

Participation guidelines:
Smaller organizations: please limit to 1 attendee
