Together, we can build a more equitable financial future.

Stronger Together

Solidarity Working Group

In July 2020 community leaders from the social finance, social economy, co-operative and community economic development movements in Canada came together in solidarity to confront and mitigate apathy towards inclusion, diversity, equity and access in the aforementioned ecosystems.

We write as a coalition of Canada’s leading Black-led organizations, social finance intermediaries, and philanthropic institutions. We are on the front lines, translating public policy into community prosperity and are deeply invested in the success of your government’s ambitious vision for a more inclusive economy. It is from this shared commitment that we bring to your attention a critical, time-sensitive opportunity to ensure the legacy and efficacy of one of your government's initiatives: the $755 million Social Finance Fund (SFF)
