Reconciliation365 increases social impact and lifts up Indigenous folks and communities.
The CommAlert Group soft-launched its newest division, Reconciliation365, on January 27th. Reconciliation365 focuses on social enterprise opportunities throughout Turtle Island. We do this by creating meaningful partnerships with organizations and communities. This initiative will leverage acts of reconciliation. In fact, it will help achieve several of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
“Since the start of the pandemic, I’ve explored how Indigenous principles of exchange and giving back can be worked into everyday business activities. This can strengthen economies in the most surprising ways,” said Tim Carwell, a citizen of Beaver First Nation and CEO of The CommAlert Group. “Reconciliation365 creates pathways that bring greater understanding to this community-building approach.”
“We are seeing outrageous acts of economic reconciliation through this way of thinking and doing. Through story-telling, knowledge sharing and investments, we are fulfilling real acts of reconciliation. We are strengthening Indigenous communities and enterprise,” said Tim.

What is Reconciliation365?
Reconciliation365 is a social enterprise that focuses on Indigenous-led projects. Additionally, it provides ways for businesses and individuals to support reconciliation. Partners can participate with an annual membership, choose a more hands-on experience, or do both.
To join this social enterprise, partners donate a percentage of their annual gross sales to approved projects. This funding will support important programs that invest in Indigenous social enterprise. For example, funding can support Indigenous language projects and programs throughout Turtle Island.
We want to build community! That means we are inclusive and welcome diversity. We want to partner with people from all walks of life, including Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Partners could include entrepreneurs, academics, governments and business leaders. They can be artists, athletes and philanthropists. We look forward to engaging with you and sharing more about our unique programs.
