The Impact Canada challenge platform is a core component of the initiative. It allows Government of Canada departments to issue challenges on a common site and reach a diverse group of problem solvers and innovators.

Government of Canada Departments

We are looking to bring together a diverse range of partners to identify shared problems.

For governments and organizations that wish to consider contributing towards the development and potential co-funding of challenges, but that do not have prior engagement with a Government of Canada (GoC) department, the Impact and Innovation Unit in the Privy Council Office is available to discuss partnership opportunities that may be open.

Non-Governmental Organizations

The Impact Canada Initiative promotes partnerships with a diverse set of stakeholders.

The Impact Canada Initiative is led by a Centre of Expertise housed within the Impact and Innovation Unit of the Privy Council Office, which also manages this platform in partnership with Government of Canada departments.

Our purpose is to help departments develop innovative funding opportunities that bring together the best ideas and brightest talent and reward those organizations and individuals that deliver high impact results for Canadians.
