Plan Institute for Citizenship and Disability

Who We Are:
Plan Institute is a National non-profit and social enterprise based in Vancouver, B.C., that supports people with disabilities and their families. We provide educational material and resources, collaborate on community-based projects, and engage with a wide array of partners to host innovative initiatives for change and policy reform.

Mission:
Plan Institute’s mission is to empower people with disabilities to lead a good life.

Vision:
Plan Institute envisions a future where all people with disabilities lead a good life. For Plan Institute, the concept of a good life means:
- Being financially secure
- Contributing to and participating in caring and inclusive communities
- Being respected and empowered to make decisions
- Knowing the loving support of friends and family
- Choosing a place to live and call home
- Having a well-planned future

Plan Institute as a Social Enterprise:
Being a social enterprise means that we don’t only rely on outside funding for our operations. Instead, we earn our income through various means. This includes selling our intellectual and social capital in the form of publications and educational training. Our priority is to create social change, not profits, while remaining sustainable and not relying solely on government funding.
