Grantee spotlight
Every year, we produce a video highlighting impactful programs that are supported by Co-operators Community Funds. Our most recent video features Bois Urbain. Based in Montreal, Bois Urbain seeks to support the social and professional integration of participants (particularly youth with mental health challenges) who have been excluded from the job market. As a social enterprise that produces goods and services related to woodworking, Bois Urbain leverages its economic activity to fulfill its mission to its members through a paid 26-week training program that prepares participants for meaningful careers.

Co-operators Community Funds Investment Portfolio
Approximately 60% of CCF’s investment portfolio assets are held in impact investments, transition investments, and smaller-scale community impact investments. We challenge the traditional view that investments are solely to make money. We advocate for the broader impact of a foundation’s investments, beyond just financial returns.
