Foundations in Canada, both private and community, hold hundreds of billions of dollars in their endowments.

Under economic threat from the Trump administration, Social Capital Partners launches a Special Series of policy ideas that support Canadian economic sovereignty, advance ownership for Canadians and reduce dependence on the U.S. Our CEO, Matthew Mendelsohn, explains how we need to seize this opportunity to advance the interests of workers, small businesses, the economically vulnerable and young Canadians who have known for a long time that our economy is not working well for them.
