Small Change Fund acts as a catalyst for individuals and grassroots organizations. We work together with partners to improve the environment; reduce poverty; and promote reconciliation efforts across Canada, including 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 325 organizations across the country, with over 100 current projects. Most of our partners tackle environmental and climate-related issues.
Our effective crowdfunding platform is the core of our operations, and we provide assistance and expertise in campaigning, government relations, human resources, fundraising and communications. We amplify our partners’ impact to achieve success.
We also develop our own projects, which include: the Youth Climate Corps, to provide a good green job for anyone 35 and under who wants one; 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 the Greenbelt Champions, a campaign that rallies the Ontario public to protect the Greenbelt from being carved up for development.
With a diverse, inclusive staff of 35 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.
