Who We Are
We are a charitable THINK & CHANGE Tank with a 12-year track record of shaping public dialogue and influencing policy to create lasting systems change. As a university-community collaboration, the Generation Squeeze Lab and Charity combine forces to give knowledge a mighty megaphone in the halls of power.
THINK TANK
The Gen Squeeze Lab at the University of British Columbia's School of Population & Public Health examines Canada's crises through the lens of generational fairness and develops policy solutions. Our non-partisan budget analyses and voters guides cut through political noise to hold governments accountable to young and future generations. We're a breath of fresh credibility and academic rigour in an era of misinformation.
CHANGE TANK
The Gen Squeeze Charity amplifies the impact of our research and solutions at the highest levels of government. We rally our 46,000+ supporters and allies to stand behind The Lab's solutions. This network grows our power to advise provincial and federal leaders, providing them with evidence and courage to take the bold steps needed to make Canada work for all ages.
Our Funders
Gen Squeeze is proud to receive financial and in-kind support from:
- individual donors in our network
- academic, government, and philanthropic grants
- private sector institutions (where principles and values align)
We ensure that all of the funding we accept is consistent with our deep commitment to the principles of independence, transparency, and accountability. These principles are important to ensure credibility in public policy dialogue and engagement, and to maintain the integrity of our work overall.
