Network Partners
Kentro’s Network Partners are organizations that share our commitment to seeing Canadian Christians do better work together — more connected, more effective, and more resilient in addressing poverty and injustice.
Network Partners are distinct from Kentro members. They don’t necessarily join our network as a regular member, and they don’t always offer products or services directly to our member organizations like our other partners do. Instead, they collaborate with Kentro at a strategic level: aligning missions, sharing learning, and pursuing shared goals that neither of us could reach as effectively alone.
These are peer relationships built on mutual respect and complementary strengths. Organizations that, like Kentro, exist so that the work of addressing poverty and injustice can flourish.
CareImpact
CareImpact is a faith-based Canadian social infrastructure organization working at a systems level to strengthen how communities collectively care for and with vulnerable people. Rather than providing frontline services, CareImpact builds social infrastructure that supports healthy collaboration among frontline ministries, agencies, businesses, community members and the local Church. They do this through innovative care-sharing technology, community capacity-building training, and ongoing trust-building and consultation with diverse sectors.
Kentro and CareImpact share a commitment to strengthening collaboration across Canada’s Christian community. Kentro convenes leaders and organizations to build trust, connection, and shared learning, while CareImpact creates pathways to operationalize collective impact. It’s a growing partnership rooted in shared values, genuine relationship, and a belief that greater impact is possible when we work together.
Shalem Mental Health Network
Shalem Mental Health Network empowers churches and non-profits across Canada to care well for mental health in their communities through programs and resources that integrate Christian faith and professional practice.
Kentro and Shalem are working together around a shared conviction: that the people doing the work of addressing poverty and injustice need to be cared for too. It’s an emerging collaboration, rooted in the belief that a more resilient Canadian Christian sector has to include the mental health of its workers — not as an afterthought, but as part of what makes the work sustainable.
Collaboration is at the center
Organizations can’t fight poverty on their own. Get connected. We are stronger together.
