Who We Are
Land Acknowledgement
Imagine Canada’s staff, operations, work, and network depend on traditional Indigenous territories to provide us physical space, sustenance, safety, and community to work, live, and play.
Our physical head office is located on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinabeg, the Haudenosaunee, the Chippewa, and the Wendat (Wyandot). We acknowledge that these lands are covered by Treaty 13 and the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant. We acknowledge that these lands are still home to many diverse First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people.
Our Mission & Strategy
- Funding is flexible, reliable, and flows more equitably to organizations and communities
- The sector offers prosperous careers and is governed by courageous leaders with lived experience
- Voices traditionally at the margins are sought out and valued in decisions impacting our collective futures
- Influencing the regulatory and policy environment in which social good organizations operate
- Ensuring decision-makers have access to timely and relevant knowledge about our sector
- Ensuring organizations are operating at the highest level of excellence
- Amplifying the unique and diverse perspectives within our sector
Our People
Imagine Canada envisions a charitable and nonprofit sector that supports and cultivates diverse, inclusive, just and equitable communities. We are working towards a sector that is truly representative of the communities we work with, that provides radically inclusive workplaces to employees and volunteers of all backgrounds, and that advances systems change.
