WHAT IS INTER PARES?
Inter Pares is a Canadian social justice organization working in Canada and around the world to create understanding about the causes and effects of poverty and injustice, and to support actions that lead to positive social and economic change.
Inter Pares collaborates with social change organizations that share our analysis that poverty and injustice are caused by inequalities within and between nations, and who are working to promote social and economic justice in their communities and societies.
Inter Pares – the name means "among equals" – was founded in 1975 to practice a new form of international cooperation, conceived not as charity but as profound solidarity. Inter Pares' work is grounded in the belief that we and our counterparts are equals, working in common cause to confront injustice and to promote more sustainable models of human community and interaction in the world we share. The name Inter Pares also describes how we work internally. Inter Pares staff form a cooperative management team working on the principle of parity – parity of salary and parity of responsibility.
Inter Pares is a registered Canadian charity supported through the generous donations of almost 10,000 Canadians. In our approach to the public, rather than spending resources on large fundraising campaigns, we have chosen to develop a solid core of committed supporters over time. This strategy has not made Inter Pares a household name, but reflects the type of commitment our supporters and counterparts expect of us.
