Say The Nicest Things

“With the support of Financial Resilience Institute, leveraging their data and insights on Canadians living with low incomes and the need for strengthened and sustained support from the Federal Government, Prosper Canada was able to secure $60 million in funding for community-delivered financial help services for these populations, to be delivered through the Resilient Futures program. The Institute’s research, expertise, impact measurement and collaboration is integral to the financial empowerment ecosystem.”
