Finance with the power of community.
Raise capital from everyday investors who believe in your mission and fund the projects your community needs most. Go beyond traditional finance—raise community bonds.
Unlock the power of community investment
Across Canada, everyday Canadians are coming together to invest millions in community-owned assets, from affordable housing developments to renewable energy installations and beyond.
Tapestry helps you tap into this movement, using a powerful tool called a community bond.
We support charities, nonprofits, and cooperatives like yours through successful community bond campaigns—expanding your community of support, aligning your financing with your values, and growing your impact.

We’re building Canada’s community investment movement. As the country’s leader in community bonds, Tapestry helps organizations design community bond campaigns that go on to raise capital from everyday investors seeking impact. We’re tired of profit-driven companies owning all the property and infrastructure communities like yours need to thrive—and the big banks earning all the interest. It’s time for a different system. It’s time to democratize finance.
“We’re building a $17 million housing project from scratch in a neighbourhood that’s underserved. We’re meeting the needs. We’re creating wealth for people who don’t have a lot of power—and it’s collective wealth.”

“Especially in this economy, sometimes it’s hard to say, ‘I’m going to just give money away.’ But this is different from a donation—it’s an investment.”

community bond investor
“As a new organization, the community’s response to our bond campaign has been an incredible affirmation that people value this work. It’s inspired us to keep going. I think a lot of communities could do this.”
Mike Bulthuis, Executive Director
