We are delighted to share an Open Call for Expressions of Interest to join Hatch Open 2.0, a collaborative effort to make impact investing in arts and culture more accessible, inclusive, and community guided.
From May 2026 to July 2028, Deaf, Disabled, and other diverse creatives from across Canada will be invited to: 1) co-create a story-based impact framework rooted in care and justice; 2) build a cooperative international ecosystem where creatives and investors can learn and connect; and, 3) design an accessible open-source digital software platform that helps creatives and impact investors work together.
There are many ways to be involved, including paid roles, volunteer and in-kind support, sharing lived experience, testing tools, or providing feedback. No prior experience with impact investing is needed.
Please note, this Expression of Interest is not an application for specific paid jobs or volunteer roles. Instead, it helps us understand who is interested in the project and how people may want to be involved. Detailed calls for paid positions and other opportunities will be shared later this Spring.
Stay tuned for further updates on upcoming information sesssions and other outreach activities to help you orient yourself with the project.
