Founded in 1986, Social and Enterprise Development Innovations (SEDI) is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to helping low-income earners gain financial independence through financial literacy, asset building and entrepreneurship.
To achieve its goal, SEDI partners with businesses, governments and not-for-profit organizations to find innovative ways to reduce poverty in Canada. SEDI also helps shape Canada’s social policies by conducting market and policy research and acting as a knowledge broker between communities and governments.
SEDI is unique for its economic development innovations which, by being incorporated into public policies, affect Canadians on a large scale.
