The IJF is made possible by the support of our visionary financial supporters who are united in their goal of strengthening Canadian democracy through public interest journalism.
Want to join them? Please email us. We provide charitable tax receipts for donations over $1,000 through our fiscal sponsor.
Below you can see who generously supported our work with monetary donations, down to the penny, broken down by our fiscal year, which ends on October 31. We also disclose donors who give us credits for their services that are worth more than $1,000. We’re also proud to publicly share how we spend our supporters' money here.
