About Us
Dedicated To Building a More Financially Resilient World
As a non-profit, our purpose is to improve the financial resilience and well-being of all Canadians and global citizens. We do this by helping purpose-driven organizations understand, measure, and then improve the financial resilience of their customers and communities.
At the non-profit Financial Resilience Institute, we believe in the power of evidence to build resilience, improve lives and strengthen communities. Financial services innovation, public policy and programs work best when rooted in data and facts. Our research, impact measurement, and cross-sector collaboration spark solutions in programs and practice. We’re working to help expand opportunities for people and improve financial resilience for all.

We began in 2009 as Seymour Consulting. As of September 2022, we are a non-profit. Our goal remains the same: Ensuring every Canadian has the financial resources and help to get through financial hardship, stressors and shocks as a result of unplanned life events.
