About Us
About the initiative
Incorporated in January 2024 as a non-profit social enterprise, the Community Capacity Building Initiative came into being in response to resounding demand for resources in the community sector. After years of careful preparation, and with the support of a number of solid partnerships without whose trust, guidance, and expertise this initiative would not have been possible, we officially opened our social finance clinic in July 2024!
The Community Capacity Building Initiative believes that economic well-being is integral to maintaining quality of life and recognizes that economic disparity can have far-reaching impacts on individuals and communities, affecting everything from access to healthcare and food to stress levels and mental health.
Our mission is to offer professional services to the public while creating programming that prioritizes solutions for economic & employment wellbeing in two spirit, trans, non-binary and gender diverse communities.
