Social Finance

Social Finance Resource CentreCanada's social and environmental sectors are dramatically underfinanced. To scale up their programs and increase impact, they need access to new forms of capital. Social finance covers community investing, social enterprise finance, micro-lending, sustainable business, and philanthropic program-related investments.

Tides Canada hosts Causeway, a new national collaboration to accelerate the growth of social finance options for charities and community organizations.

The increased scale and impact of social finance in Canada will generate significant long-term benefits to Canadian society. Our focus is to map an accelerated growth plan for the financial infrastructure urgently needed to support Canada's charitable sector.

A new report on Causeway’s first national Social Finance Forum profiles important US and UK social finance experiences and provides directions for moving this field ahead in Canada.
