PaddlesUP!

$10-million campaign for INDIGENOUS INNOVATION

Moving forward together, exploring new waters.

On June 15, 2021, we came together to celebrate the past, present and future of Indigenous Innovation Leadership in Canada. This PaddlesUP! celebration was hosted by the Indigenous Innovation Initiative and the Circle of Abundance Program at the Coady International Institute, in partnership with PowHERhouse Impact Media Group. See event overview, outcomes and calls to action here.

 We are launching a $10-million giving campaign to catalyze Indigenous innovation and change people's lives. Your contribution allows us to support more innovators to develop and test their innovation towards impact – to get more paddles in the water. Together, we are changing people's lives, and here's how:
