About Small Change Fund

Small Change Fund acts as a catalyst for individuals and grassroots organizations to improve the environment, reduce poverty, and promote reconciliation efforts across Canada, working with Indigenous Peoples to support the protection of their lands, waters and communities.

We are a capacity support engine and have helped more than 270 organizations across the country, the majority tackling environmental and climate-related issues.

Our award-winning crowdfunding platform is the core of our operations, and we provide our support and expertise in campaigning, government relations, fundraising and communications. We amplify our partners’ impact to achieve success.

We also develop our own projects, which include: Hot Globe, a comedy series about climate change aimed at disrupting the same old climate communications; Get On The Bus, a national movement to inspire a youth transit revolution; the Public Voice Fund, which funds environmental groups to engage government relations experts in influencing decision-makers; and Keep The Greenbelt Promise, a campaign that rallied the Ontario public to (successfully) protect the Greenbelt from being carved up for development.

With a diverse, inclusive staff of 28 experts working across Canada in both official languages and several Indigenous ones, we have deep professional and lived experience in our core mission areas.

Our invitation to anyone who wants to change something is simple: Bring your change here.

It seems we’re pretty popular!

We are working with so many great projects and partners at the moment that we have decided to temporarily pause our new project intakes until Fall 2024. We will take this time to retool and improve some of our systems to serve our donors and project partners even better. Please touch base in mid-August if you have a project you would like to bring to Small Change Fund. 
 
In the meantime, we have many great projects to support here!
