IMPACT is an independent, Canadian, non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the management of natural resources in areas affected by insecurity and human rights risks. With over 30 years of experience, the organization works to ensure that resources contribute to equitable peace and development, rather than fueling conflict. IMPACT fiscally hosted Publish What You Pay Canada from 2008 to 2024.

Transparency International Canada (TI Canada) is the Canadian chapter of Transparency International. Since its foundation in 1996, TI Canada has been at the forefront of the national anti-corruption agenda. In addition to advocating legal and policy reform on issues such as whistleblower protection, public procurement, and corporate disclosure, we design practical tools for Canadian businesses and institutions looking to manage corruption risks, and serve as an anti-corruption resource for organizations across Canada.

Canadians for Tax Fairness is a non-profit organization whose aim is to raise public awareness of crucial issues of tax justice and to change the way Canadians talk about tax. We advocate for fair and progressive government policies aimed at building a strong and sustainable economy, reducing inequalities and funding quality public services. Canadians for Tax Fairness believes in the development and implementation of a tax system, based on ability to pay, to fund the comprehensive, high-quality network of public services and programs required to meet our social, economic and environmental needs in the 21st century.
