Tarnished: Let’s rethink, reimagine and co-create a new social impact sector

Table of Contents ~ Excerpt

Tarnished provides a definition of organizational health and speaks to why it matters and how to gauge your own organization’s health. Tarnished explores justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and access to provide strategies and practical tools to co-create inclusive workplaces.

While we explore how the sector has perpetuated colonialism rather than healing and reconciliation, we also consider Indigenous perspectives and how we can embrace Indigenous ways of knowing, learning and being into our work. We hope you find in these pages the inspiration and practical advice you need to ensure our workplaces are mission-driven, values-based, respectful, inclusive, collaborative and kind.

"The social impact sector should be at the forefront of the current diversity, equity and inclusion movements but it can only do so authentically if it changes itself and if it embraces the needed culture change with urgency and honesty.”  Marina Glogovac, CEO, CanadaHelps 

"Tarnished fills a vitally important void in the literature on the social profit sector and should become required reading for all leaders looking to advance organizational culture, people management, and performance.  Bravo to Maryann!” Ted Garrard, C.M., Chief Executive Officer, SickKids Foundation

actionable points at the end of each chapter makes this a valuable tool

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Tarnished and saw myself in both the good (soft leader..new term for me) and bad (it is what it is…I really should stop saying that). I also found the language around diversity (global majority in particular) to be progressive, thoughtful and a real aha moment for me. Having actionable points at the end of each chapter makes this a valuable tool for every leader in our field. All to say that I think you knocked it out of the park with this book! Way to go. - Tina Triano (Former CEO, Oakville Hospital Foundation)

Maryann is courageous

Courage derives it’s root from the Latin word for heart. Someone once defined courage as “to speak one’s mind by telling all of ones heart”. Maryann is courageous in putting her mind to her thoughts and to pen the words from her heart. I was touched by her authenticity in her book Tarnished. We do need to retain, reimagine and make alterations to the social sector. Her impact comes through from the forward of the book right through to the last chapter. Congratulations on sharing your life’s work.

full of resources, wisdom, insights, and heartfelt stories

As a new and aspiring fundraiser, I have big hopes and dreams for the charitable sector, and admittedly was shocked to learn what often transpires within their workplaces! Maryann Kerr’s Tarnished is a “must read”, comprehensive guide-book full of resources, wisdom, insights, and heartfelt stories meant to spark a movement towards a better sector for everyone. It is my personal and deep hope that Tarnished becomes the catalyst for real and lasting change to become the ‘humanitarian sector’, for ALL of us. Thank you Maryann for your courage and abiding love for the charitable sector, we are indebted to you! Linda Terry, Fundraising Coordinator, The Salvation Army

a psychological seismic shift must take place

Maryann Kerr, I applaud you for the creation of Tarnished. I pray that the words on the pages speak to every reader to the fact that a psychological seismic shift in their heart and mind must take place for intentional grace, humility, and love to flow. Let’s demonstrate to the world that the social impact sector is the ‘love sector’ filled with compassion, respect, kindness, empowerment, and freedom. - Katherine Smart,
Gift Planning Consultant, Abundance Canada
