ABOUT US
Supporting Intentional Family of Canada(IFC) Means Supporting Community
Intentional Family of Canada (IFC) is a registered not-for-profit community-based organization dedicated to educating, informing, connecting, and equipping the racialized, Black, African, and Caribbean immigrants in Canada with the people and resources they need to foster a thriving community and strong families. Our Intentional Family of Canada (IFC) comprises individuals and families who are intentionally creating a supportive community to address loneliness and isolation.
Established in April 2025, Intentional Family of Canada aims to provide effective and culturally relevant programs while creating a safe, welcoming, and culturally appropriate environment that connects individuals, families, and children with African culture, effectively creating a home away from home—a village, an intentional community. We also offer services for women experiencing domestic violence, regardless of their background. Our programs, events, and activities are informed by an intersectional antidiscrimination approach and focus on solutions, involving initiatives like culturally relevant programs, support groups, and networking opportunities. We believe that by fostering a sense of belonging and community, we can break down cultural divides and barriers, promoting a harmonious and prosperous Canadian community for all.
While our programs are open to the public, we prioritize services for marginalized communities, including elementary school children and youth through our student support program; women, men, seniors, couples, and families through our family support program; and a gender-based violence awareness program to raise awareness about the issues faced by racialized immigrant women. We also provide essential mental health support through our mental health program.
At the heart of Intentional Family of Canada (IFC) is the desire to help racialized immigrants lead healthy and productive lives in Canada, overcoming challenges associated with settlement, including mental health challenges linked to homesickness, isolation, and loneliness. Our mission is clear: we are committed to supporting the Black community and ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need.
