Inclusive Prosperity
Inclusive Prosperity began as an incubated initiative and subsidiary of Fair Finance Fund, created to address persistent inequities in access to capital across food and farming systems. From the outset, it was designed to push beyond traditional financing models — centring racialized and equity-deserving communities, rethinking risk, and grounding investment in justice, community accountability, and food sovereignty. Over the past several years, Inclusive Prosperity has grown into a strong, values-driven organization in its own right, with dedicated leadership and staff, distinct programs, and a clear mandate shaped by the communities it serves.
In 2026, Inclusive Prosperity enters its next chapter as an independent organization — a milestone that reflects both its maturity and its impact. Fair Finance Fund and Inclusive Prosperity will continue to work closely together to strengthen Canada’s local food systems.

Community-Driven
Bias in lending is a significant problem. Equity-deserving communities including racialised, Indigenous, and others too often face unequal treatment from conventional lending institutions.
Inclusive Prosperity aims to ensure that equity-deserving food and farm entrepreneurs have access to the capital they need to thrive, building out community-led initiatives, and striving to create opportunities for meaningful participation and economic empowerment.
