# Event Details - **Event Name**: Hamilton - The Power of a Community Bond Investment - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 11:00 am (-04:00) - **Event Description**: A town hall conversation on how community bonds can fund organizations and projects — when capital and community move togetherAbout this EventWhat if the asset your organization already holds could become the engine that funds your next chapter?What if a Community Bond could help you acquire a long term asset like real estate!?That's the question behind a community bond investment vehicle— a financing tool where individuals and institutions lend capital directly to an organization, rather than donate it. The capital gets put to work, the organization repays it over time, and the people who believed in the mission early share in the return. It's collaboration, structured as capital.Join ACBN for an invitation-only session on how this model works, and how it can be a meaningful tool for nonprofits and community organizations exploring sustainable, community-rooted funding.We'll use ACBN's own Affordable Housing Project in Woodstock, Ontario as a working example — how an organization can leverage land it holds to raise a community bond, fund operations, and build a long-term asset that creates wealth for the community it serves.In this session, we'll cover:• What a community bond is, and how it's different from a grant, a donation, or a traditional loan• How an organization's existing assets — land, property, or other holdings — can become the foundation for raising community capital• ACBN's Affordable Housing Project as a real, in-progress example: the model, the structure, and what we're learning• How collaboration between nonprofits, investors, and community members makes this kind of capital possible• Questions and open discussion — bring your own organization's situation to the table This is a working session, not a lecture. We want this room thinking about how this model could apply to your own organization's assets and goals. Seats are limited and by invitation only.WHO SHOULD ATTENDNonprofit leaders, community organizations, and community members interested in understanding alternative, collaborative funding models for mission-driven work.HOSTED BY Ryan Knight, Executive Director, Afro Caribbean Business Network (ACBN) QUESTIONS ryan.knight@acbncanada.com | 647-225-3309Upcoming event dates:Brampton: Saturday August 8, 2026https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1993564128975Scarborough: Friday August 21, 2026https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/scarborough-the-power-of-a-community-bond-investment-tickets-1993564356656Learn more: https://acbncanada.com/acbn-affordable-housing/ - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/hamilton/hamilton-the-power-of-a-community-bond-investment/100001993565038696 - **Event Categories**: nonprofit, business - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: 754 Barton St E - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Hamilton - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: 754 Barton St E - **lat**: 43.2553369 - **long**: -79.8325373 - **full address**: 754 Barton St E, 754 Barton Street East, Hamilton, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Hamilton - The Power of a Community Bond Investment - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/b8b40fe935ccd5dbfb8310d028b76fc2829f6bc483d37141dd824e1d98426868-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf1f2f2-gmir.jpg?v=1784575969 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Hamilton - The Power of a Community Bond Investment being held? - **A:** Hamilton - The Power of a Community Bond Investment takes place on Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 12:00 pm to Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 11:00 am at 754 Barton St E, 754 Barton Street East, Hamilton, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Hamilton - The Power of a Community Bond Investment? - **A:** Hamilton - The Power of a Community Bond Investment is organized by ACBN Canada Foundation. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at ACBN Canada Foundation's events? - **A:** Attendees have given ACBN Canada Foundation a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
