About us

Tapestry Community Capital enables a diverse range of social enterprises to raise the capital they need to scale their impact. Through the use of a proven social finance tool, called a Community Bond, we help them to elevate their strong base of supporters to become proud community investors.

Our team first began raising Community Bonds for a community owned renewable energy project in 2004. We have since simplified that model and made it more widely accessible to a broad range of community groups. We help bring their iconic community projects to life. Our clients are community groups located in cities, towns and villages across Ontario. They are actively engaged in the spheres of affordable housing, sustainable food production, community care hubs, arts & culture, co-working centres and renewable energy.

Our office is based out of a beautiful heritage building in downtown Toronto.
