Advocacy
We’re advocating to make it easier for everyday Canadians to invest in the future of their communities.
Introducing the Canadian Coalition for Community Capital
Founded by the team behind Tapestry, we’re a group of issuers, intermediaries, and investors advocating for tax incentives for community bondholders. These kinds of incentives could mobilize hundreds of millions in investment into community-led essential infrastructure.
The ask
Amid trade tensions, economic uncertainty, and a shifting global order, Canada has renewed its focus on economic sovereignty, resilience, and self-reliance. This presents a strategic opportunity: to scale nation-building community capital organizations that unlock investment to build vital local infrastructure and thriving communities, and keep dollars in Canada.
Community capital aligns perfectly with this federal vision. It offers a scalable, fiscally responsible way to unlock domestic investment, strengthen Canadian infrastructure, and equip local organizations to deliver on national priorities, from
housing and child care to climate resilience and arts and culture.
Streamline the inclusion of community investments—i.e. Investments into projects led by charities, nonprofits, and cooperatives—in tax-exempt accounts like RRSPs and TFSAs.
