Our Funders
Our work is made possible by support from visionary partners who share our goal of strengthening Canadian democracy through public interest journalism.
Want to join them? The IJF gratefully accepts donations via CanadaHelps. If you’d like to make a tax receiptable gift another way, please contact Meghan Snider at meghan.snider@theijf.org.
We practice the same radical transparency that we demand of others, so below you can see who generously supported our work, down to the penny, broken down by our fiscal year, which ends on October 31. We also disclose donors who give us credits for their services that are worth more than $1,000. Want to see how we spend our supporters' money? Click here.
