About Us.

Definity Foundation supports communities across Canada in pursuing climate, health, social and economic justice. With a particular focus on equity, we support solutions that address systemic barriers, especially those faced by Black, Indigenous and other racialized communities.

Our Origin Story 

Seeded with proceeds of the 2021 demutualization of Economical Mutual Insurance Company, Definity Foundation works with diverse partners across the country to create positive change. We believe that those with direct experience of systemic barriers are the best positioned to implement solutions that will uplift their communities.

Through strong partnerships and targeted support for bold community led solutions, we’re helping to build a healthier, more equitable and just Canada. To learn more about the origin story of the Foundation, click here 

Our Values

Community
At The Core

We ground our work in deep listening that informs our actions, a belief in self-determination as the path to better solutions, and a commitment to collective and cooperative action as the driver of meaningful, lasting change.

Driven By Justice

We are committed to addressing both historic and ongoing inequities, including the imbalance of power and privilege, by working alongside others to create conditions of access, well-being, inclusion, and equity, while continually confronting uncomfortable truths and acting with courage.

Integrity Through Action

We take action and make decisions rooted in our mission, vision, and values, acting with respect, openness, and honesty, while holding ourselves accountable for the impact of our actions.
