Community Support and Social Purpose
Humanity Financial supports social purpose organizations from coast to coast to coast, nurturing financial growth and sustainability in the non-profit sector. The organization develops the financial skills of an organization’s own team so that each can become self-reliant. This approach helps to advance a group’s case with funders and to materialize an organization’s impact. It is a refreshing take on traditional accounting – a mix of practical, robust bookkeeping and genuine care for social impact. This initiative offers more than routine financial management; it is about transforming governance to support emerging communities and their causes… A conversation about numbers soon turns into a discussion on how to create long-lasting social impact.
Financial System Mastery
Humanity designs financial systems to empower organizations and amplify their impacts. The project includes comprehensive support for the clean-up, catch-up, and maintenance of organizational records—a true game changer for many non-profits and charities in Canada. Systematizing financial information not only delivers valuable insights but also supports sound decision-making. For organizations that depend on CPA-certified advice, this initiative provides the clarity needed to navigate the complexities of bookkeeping and governance. It is a blend of precision and passion, turning often tedious financial management into a streamlined process that underpins robust operational strategies.
Honouring Indigenous Relations and Cultural Acknowledgement
There is a genuine acknowledgment of traditional hosts with a respectful nod to centuries of stewardship. Humanity Financial acknowledges its traditional hosts and honours their welcome and graciousness to team members and families alike. The office is located on the unceded, never surrendered, stolen, traditional and ancestral territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. This respect is more than a formal statement—it reflects a commitment to decolonizing practices that address Canada’s colonial past and the ongoing subjugation of Indigenous people. It is a thoughtful reminder that accountability goes beyond numbers, extending into the social and cultural realms as well.
The Role of Governance and Training
The project reaches into the heart of governance, enhancing the capabilities of boards and leadership teams. Through careful training initiatives, it helps organizations develop reliable financial strategies while deepening overall knowledge in areas such as bookkeeping and financial management. This dynamic support is especially beneficial for non-profits and charities that require improved governance but have often been hindered by limited resources. By instituting structured and reliable systems, Humanity Financial drives an impact that is felt not only in balance sheets, but also in the strategic thinking and responsible leadership of every organization it assists.
