How we work with Purpose-Led and Philanthropic Funders and Partners

Since our founding, the Financial Resilience Institute has been working with philanthropic organizations and purpose-led organizations and funders committed to improving financial services and the financial lives for all Canadians, including in particular those who are underserved or more financially vulnerable.

Our non-profit Institute is now expanding our partnerships and impact internationally.

Philanthropies, purpose-driven organizations, social finance leaders and innovators committed to social change play a critical role in the mission to improve financial resilience, financial health and financial well-being for all. From financial support to strategic guidance, deep funder relationships make possible a wide variety of in-depth and longitudinal consumer research and programs that bring independent, timely data and measurement to informed evidence-based programs, policies and targeted support. These and our impact projects inform high-quality product and program design, and scale solutions that promote consumer financial resilience, health and well-being.

Because of strong support from nationally-recognized organizations committed to social change, we conduct key research and lead or support customized impact projects to improve people’s lives.
