Tamarack Institute for Community Engagement

Tamarack Institute develops and supports collaborative strategies to fight poverty and solve community issues, mainly across Canada. It focuses primarily on vulnerable individuals, families and communities in deprived rural or peri-urban areas and from Indigenous or immigrant backgrounds. Tamarack’s two main goals are to develop tools and share stories of change happening at the community level and to engage diverse, multi-sector leaders to apply these tools to help end poverty at the local level. The network has grown to more than 90 regional members, local non-profits or community associations whose work impacts 22 million Canadians, equivalent to 58% of the country’s population.
