Committed to Amplifying Indigenous Voices
We Recognize Indigenous Peoples as Traditional Stewards of this Land
Land Acknowledgement
Our team at CanadaHelps is grateful to have the opportunity to meet and work on many Indigenous homelands across this land we share, Canada. As settlers on these lands, it is important to acknowledge that the land where our headquarters are located is the traditional territory of the Wendat, the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, known today as Toronto. We want to express our respect for the territories we reside in and honour the diverse Indigenous Peoples who have lived and worked on this land historically and presently. We, the staff and leadership at CanadaHelps, are committed to being active participants in reconciliation. We are committed to continuing to amplify Indigenous voices, and learning how our work affects Indigenous Peoples.
Supporting Indigenous-Led Charities & Causes
Indigenous-led charities in Canada face significant funding disparities compared to other charities, limiting their ability to combat systemic discrimination and the harmful legacies of colonization and assimilation. Your support can help change this reality. Discover the impactful work of Indigenous-led organizations through these thoughtfully curated cause funds. Each fund has been developed by experienced advisors with deep connections to Indigenous communities.
Together, we can help empower Indigenous communities and support their vital efforts toward justice and cultural preservation.

Together, Canadians must do more than just talk about reconciliation; we must learn how to practise reconciliation in our everyday lives – within ourselves and our families, and in our communities, governments, places of worship, schools, and workplaces. To do so constructively, Canadians must remain committed to the ongoing work of establishing and maintaining respectful relationships.
