Build a partnership with clear roles and shared results

Due diligence

How partnerships are assessed

We assess mission alignment, community need, legal status, reputation, safeguarding, financial controls, operational capacity, conflicts of interest, accessibility, data protection, the proposed contribution, and the ability to report results.

We expect the same scrutiny in return. If you need our registration details, financial reports or policies to complete your own due diligence, ask and we will send what exists.

The process

  • Submit an inquiry.
  • Take part in an initial discussion.
  • Complete appropriate due diligence, in both directions.
  • Agree the purpose, roles, budget, branding, information handling, safeguards, results and communication.
  • Sign the appropriate agreement.
  • Deliver, monitor and review the partnership.

Reporting

What we report back to a partner

What we report depends on the partnership, and is agreed at the start rather than negotiated afterwards. It may include activities delivered, participants reached, outputs, expenditure, donated goods, volunteer contribution, participant feedback, incidents, lessons learned, photographs where consent exists, and the outcomes we agreed to measure.

Become a financial partner

Partner with us through regular giving

Alongside organizational partnerships, individuals and businesses can become financial partners through regular giving. Choose the form for your own country: the entity that receives your gift determines your receipt, your currency, and how the contribution is reported.

Neither entity can issue a tax receipt valid in the other’s jurisdiction. If you are giving from outside Canada or the United States, tax treatment depends on your country — we cannot give personal tax advice.
