What We For

We’re a Canadian non-profit advancing unconditional basic income to guarantee economic security for all and build a future where everyone can pursue their potential.

We believe that basic income works as a key building block in a human-centered economy—one that fosters innovation and enhances the well-being of individuals, families, and communities everywhere. Through events like this, we bridge the gap between policy and real human stories.
