Social finance offers innovative ways to finance solutions to many of society’s most challenging problems by attracting private investments that create both financial returns for investors and desired social and environmental impacts. Community Foundations of Canada (CFC) is working with sector partners to develop a social-finance platform called Outcomes Canada (OC) to facilitate community-driven social finance. Many community initiatives face significant capacity challenges and resourcing gaps. At present, community initiatives bear the burden of navigating a highly decentralized financing ecosystem to secure funding and other support needed to build their capacity and achieve desired outcomes. At the same time, governments, social financiers, philanthropists, and academics seek to find and support community initiatives that are producing results. This gap reflects the need for new tools, innovative financing vehicles and streamlined approaches to support community-driven outcomes in Canada.

We sought to co-develop an assessment questionnaire that will allow AI developers, government, and tech-enabled civil society organizations (CSOs) to gauge the level of civic empowerment in their AI system(s) (see Section 4). We categorized the contributions from attendees in terms of existential, epistemic, process-based and a few ready-to-go assessment questions. Our hope was that this set of questions could eventually augment AI certification, audit, and risk assessment tools. At this stage, instead of generating a simple list of best practices, our assessment questionnaire serves to “open Pandora’s box,” explicating the diversity of positions, confronting the challenge in synthesis and implementation, and moving towards meaningful and not merely performative empowerment.
