Inclusion Canada is a national federation of 13 provincial and territorial associations and over 300 local associations working to advance the full inclusion and human rights of people with an intellectual disability and their families.
The Opportunity
Strengthen Inclusion Canada’s impact measurement, communications, and governance capacity to enhance its national impact, so people with an intellectual disability and their families are equally valued and can fully participate in all aspects of society.
The Impact
Inclusion Canada has undergone significant positive change, growing in size, skills, and capabilities. The organization is experiencing greater alignment and cohesion across the Federation, including a stronger leadership team and a more engaged Board supported by a new governance structure that can meet the
organization’s policy, research, and funding needs for the coming years.
With a new brand narrative, there is a boldness and confidence in the organization’s messaging that is attracting the right people and partners to its movement. Investment into the organization’s capacity has powered advocacy and policy work, resulting in real impact for people with intellectual disabilities and their families. The organization developed and launched a national family leadership and grassroots engagement initiative and led national consultations that will greatly assist in the development of the regulations of the Canada Disability Benefit once it becomes law.
Not willing to accept the status quo, Inclusion Canada is primed and ready to shape the next chapter of its growth, influence, and impact.
