Today, on National Non-Profit Day, we celebrate the people at the heart of every community we serve. At The Giustra Foundation, we believe lasting change begins by investing in people. Through our work with trusted parters, we support women and children, help families overcome poverty and food insecurity, provide hope for those experiencing homelessness, and help refugees build new lives.
Thank you to our partners, supporters, and communities for being part of this mission. Together, we’re creating opportunities and lasting impact.

February 17th is Random Acts of Kindness Day, a beautiful reminder that even the smallest gesture can make a big impact. Whether it’s a smile to a stranger, a compliment to a friend, or lending a helping hand, let’s make this world a brighter place, one act of kindness at a time. What are you doing to spread kindness today and every day?

"The potential of this technology cannot be understated, and Acceso looks forward to playing a role in revolutionizing extension models in service of smallholder farmers around the world. The stakes are high, and farmers need all the support they can get to meet the challenges of tomorrow."

Acceso is now piloting its own AI-assisted extension tool called ExtensioBot to help extension agents in Latin America and the Caribbean better serve the farmers in their service area.
We are communicating with over 30,000 farmers.

AI has the potential to improve access to agricultural extension services and bring quality advice to the most geographically and socially marginalized farmers. Meet ExtensioBot.,

“When refugees newcomers receive the support they need to thrive, it becomes a success not only for the individuals but also for the countries that welcome them. The contributions of those seeking safety in resettlement countries consistently contribute to strengthening economies and enriching vibrant communities, especially when they partner with sponsorship groups committed to ensuring positive integration experiences. As a founding partner in the Global Refugee Sponsorship Initiative, I take pride in championing this cause. I extend my applause to the states and community organizations worldwide that exhibit unwavering dedication to expanding community sponsorship programs, transcending borders and making a positive impact on lives beyond Canada." - Frank Giustra
