Purposeful Purchasing

The Purposeful Purchasing Initiative is about disability missioned organizations in British Columbia recognizing that every dollar spent, if spent with purpose, will advance the economic inclusion of people with disabilities.

Competition for charitable dollars is fierce and it no longer makes sense for social service organizations to just view the corporate world as potential donors. Social Service organizations in Canada spend over 3.6 billion dollars annually. It therefore makes sense for them to position themselves as consumers, with a mission. Purposeful Purchasing moves social services from an agenda of charity to one of prosperity.
