The most impactful way to support our mission is by donating directly. You can do that here.

True North Aid is a registered Canadian charity dedicated to providing practical humanitarian aid to northern and remote Indigenous communities. Our work is grounded in eight foundational pillars: self-determination, reconciliation, water, food, health, housing, culture, and education.

With significant barriers to accessing goods and services in northern and remote communities, as well as striking levels of inequality in health and wellness outcomes, food, income and housing, there is much work to be done.  The challenges are complex and long-standing, but True North Aid believes that real progress begins with the recognition of self-governance and Indigenous-led solutions.

We partner with and are guided by Indigenous leaders, community members, and a six-person Indigenous Advisory Council, ensuring our work is respectful, relevant, and community-informed. Every initiative we support is led or directed by Indigenous voices, recognizing that each community’s needs and strengths are unique.

We proudly work with organizations aligned with our CRA-approved mandate and our mission to reduce poverty in a meaningful, sustainable way. Our Board of Directors brings expertise from across the nonprofit, public, and private sectors, with decades of experience serving isolated communities.

True North Aid is a non-religious, non-political organization that supports people of all backgrounds and beliefs. We do not fund activities that promote any one group’s ideology.

Your support makes it possible for us to continue responding to urgent needs while championing long-term, community-led change.
