Compassionate Coworking

Coworking for Everyone

Community is at the heart of social impact, and we’re committed to reducing barriers to joining ours.

The Compassionate Coworking* initiative offers fully-subsidized 3-month memberships (Part-Time or Connect) to impact-driven individuals in need of a space and community to call home.

Applications will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. You can expect to hear back from us within two weeks of submitting your application. Up to 8 memberships will be offered per year.

* Please note that our Compassionate Coworking initiative is currently on pause. We're looking forward to sharing updates in Summer 2025, so stay tuned!

I’m a member and I’d like to support!

This initiative was launched with support from Employment and Social Development Canada’s SDG Funding Program, and it will be maintained through contributions from Impact Hub Ottawa and its members.
If you’re a member, you can support Compassionate Coworking by making a one-time or recurring contribution via the member portal.

Who is Eligible?

We welcome applications from impact-driven people who may not otherwise be able to access a full-priced membership.

Whether you’re an activist, artist, social innovator, community builder, entrepreneur, or educator, if you’re working toward social and environmental justice in your community, you're invited to apply!

Because we know that building sustainable solutions requires leadership from those most adversely affected by climate and social injustice, we are prioritizing applications from members of equity-deserving groups, including Black, Indigenous, racialized people and people of colour, people living with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQ+ people.
