Who We Are

The Canadian Association of Urban Financial Professionals (CAUFP) is a member-based resource organization providing a link between corporations and the Black community through innovative programs that facilitate economic growth and educational opportunities. For over 20 years, CAUFP has established itself as a catalyst for excellence and for the advancement of Black professionals in the Canadian economy.

Our Vision

Our Vision is a Canadian economy where Black people are active, influential leaders.

Our Mission

To develop and advance Black professionals by:

  • Partnering with organizations to strengthen a pipeline of Black Talent
  • Investing in the professional development of our members
  • Providing a network to foster the economic empowerment of the Black community

Our Key Pillars

Professional Development

We focus on professional growth and mobility for our membership in a globally-connected industry. Our events, including guest speakers and substantive “soft skill” workshops, provide opportunities to develop leadership skills.

Networking

We interact with thought leaders at Canada’s leading corporations. Our members are able to interact with these leaders at our monthly Speaker Series to gain insights and engage in professional networking with them, as well as other members.

Financial Literacy

We are committed to building and sustaining wealth in our community, by educating on financial planning and demystifying financial services and products to create a path to lasting prosperity.

Youth Engagement

Through the Annual CAUFP “Inspired to Achieve” Youth Summit, we connect high-performing visible minority students to firms on Bay Street within finance, law, consulting, professional services, and technology.
