Dixie Bloor Community Centre

We asked our client DBNC to give us a brief review of the work we did with them, and here is what they had to say about us!

Manager, Outreach and Development

The Dixie Bloor Neighbourhood Drop-In Centre (DBNC), was founded in 1988 by concerned members of the community to enhance the quality of life of those residing in the Dixie Bloor area (Peel region). The organization supports newcomers, job seekers, families, youth, children and seniors through multiple free of charge services. DBNC is a leading, inclusive, welcoming, proactive, community-inspired agency. It is the organization that the community chooses because it meets their diverse and changing needs through empowerment, partnerships, active listening, engagement, and leadership.

Time worked together: June 2022 – April 2024

Scope of work:

  • Fundraising Plan Development
  • Individual Giving, including small friend-raising events
  • Corporate partnerships
  • Grant support

 

How was your experience overall with us?

Working with Janine was fantastic. She is dedicated and takes her time to learn an organization inside out by having important discussions and developing an appropriate plan of action for developing our funding sources. Her personality allows for all members on the team to feel comfortable. She also had very great ideas that were creative and workable.

 

What were the strong points about your consultant?

Janine is a research fiend and ensures she knows everything about a funder or an organization before she devises a plan of action. This ensures that our work is done well and efficiently. She takes her time to truly understand before suggesting solutions.

 

What were areas for improvement?

Janine could try to come in person more! Virtual is flexible but it does limit in-person collaboration.

 

Would you recommend us to another nonprofit, why or why not?

Yes! Janine is fantastic to work with and has an easygoing working style. She is always a pleasure to have on the team.

 

Would you consider working with us again in the future?

Yes!
