Tipi of Hope Foundation (Tipi of Hope) is an Indigenous founded and led charitable organization. Our programs are across Turtle Island (Canada) and based in Calgary! Our mission is to provide a path for Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities to create a joint vision of reconciliation. We work collaboratively with all peoples, communities, organizations, and groups to ensure meaningful action. We implement programs for the public on Indigenous values, culture, history, and reconciliation.

Our programs and needs:
– Corporate Partners: Our partners include Alberta Health Services, Intrinsi, Cineplex, and others. As we continue to grow, our impact is defined by new partnerships that want to make a difference.
– Benches for Hope is a program that interconnects safe spaces for Indigenous people and advances reconciliation. Our first bench is located at the Peter Lougheed Centre in Calgary.
– Shoes for Hope is our Indigenous community support program. We will soon announce our fourth community, and we hope to support other communities in the future. We actively seek new clothes, shoes, and other donations to help those in need.
– Education for Hope is our education for schools, with 750 participants since 2023!
– Tipi for Hope Scholarship launches in 2025. Please contact us if you want to donate gently used computer equipment to advance this program!
– We are also seeking professional service donations to help offset our operational costs, including accounting and legal fees.
– If you are interested in donating our time as a volunteer or Board Member, please connect. Based on our most recent skills matrix review, candidates demonstrating expertise in one or more of the following areas will be preferred for the upcoming board appointments: policing/justice, accounting/finance, legal/corporate secretary, fundraising, website design, social media, or programs.
– Grant writing services to help expand our operations and reach.
