Inspirit Foundation is a Canadian non-profit organization that supports young people in building a more inclusive and pluralist society. The foundation funds initiatives that encourage engagement between young people of different cultural, spiritual, and secular backgrounds.
The Inspirit Foundation grew out of the S-VOX Foundation after S-VOX sold its broadcasting assets to ZoomerMedia in 2010. S-VOX was a Canadian non-profit media organization that produced content on spirituality. It operated VisionTV and other related Canadian specialty channels from 1988 to 2010. After the sale of VisionTV, S-VOX’s board of directors used the funds to create Inspirit Foundation.
The foundation supports two granting streams targeted at the community and national levels.
Some of the institutions supported by the Inspirit Foundation include the United Nations Association in Canada, the Canadian Red Cross, the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights, Hot Docs, imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival, Apathy is Boring, and the Atwater Library in Quebec.
