About

Inspiring Communities is a nonprofit intermediary organization that uses systems change, social innovation and collaboration tools to create equitable, thriving communities. We aim to achieve positive change that centers equity.

We aspire to build equitable, thriving communities through connecting communities, creating collaborative partnerships, measuring impact and maintaining a strong and sustainable core. We openly share our learning. Our strategy to transform systems across the region is based on bringing diverse voices to decision-making tables, creating the capacity to act, and fostering a culture of collaboration.

We are based in Nova Scotia and collaborate throughout the Atlantic Region. We have offices in Digby, Cape Breton and Dartmouth. We work primarily in the ancestral and unceded territories of the Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik.
