Our Mission & Values

Rooted in purpose, guided by values
At CANOE, how we work is just as important as what we do. Our mission and values are more than statements — they are the compass that shapes our relationships, decisions, and day-to-day practices. This is the ground we stand on as we walk alongside organizations committed to justice and lasting impact.
The policies, processes, and systems in areas including HR, IT, financial management, compliance and governance that serve as the backbone or internal infrastructure for an organization.
What do we mean by internal operations?
Our Mission
We partner with nonprofits and social impact organizations to cultivate and advance people-centered internal operations, providing a strong, equitable foundation upon which organizations can grow and strengthen their impact.

We champion strong foundations and internal infrastructure as core necessities for positive change in the world. We strive to build and continuously improve sustainable systems that both address current challenges and prepare for the needs of tomorrow.
