Advocating for the rights and dignity of incarcerated individuals
Support our work
Canadian Prisoners Advocates is a volunteer-led federal nonprofit working to advance human dignity, rehabilitation, family connection, and access to reliable information and meaningful programming.
Our $10,000 goal
Your support will help CPA develop practical resources, deliver community programming and build the responsible foundation needed to sustain our work.
Developing and distributing practical information, including CPA’s Judicial Review Handbook, a resource guide for incarcerated people and their families, and an awareness calendar connecting incarcerated people, families and community members with relevant supports, events and developments related to incarceration.
Supporting the initial delivery of Harmony In Connections, a music group for children with incarcerated parents, CPA’s first community program, through venue costs, facilitator expenses, activity materials, transportation and promotion, while helping CPA develop future programs and initiatives.
Maintaining liability, directors and officers, professional liability and cyber coverage so CPA can operate responsibly and protect its volunteers, leadership and programming.
Covering necessary expenses such as our mailing address, website and domain, recordkeeping, corporate or banking costs, printing and administrative supplies.
Creating orientation and training materials, completing screening where required and building relationships with community organizations and potential partners.
Providing limited flexibility for unforeseen program or administrative expenses.
These figures are reasonable estimates based on CPA’s current plans. Funding may be adjusted according to actual program costs and organizational priorities. Contributions received beyond our goal will support additional resource distribution, community programming and future initiatives.
