WASHINGTON, June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Simon Fraser University (SFU) and Efficiency Canada, two of Canada's most respected higher education nonprofits, have selected Engaging Networks as their digital engagement technology partner. Engaging Networks' innovative fundraising and advocacy platform will assist both organizations in their efforts to mobilize donors and supporters. The announcement comes on National Higher Education Day as the organizations come together to champion the value of higher learning and the effect it will have on the future of our world.

Efficiency Canada, an advocacy organization based at Carleton University, has been working with governments and private-sector businesses since 2018 to advocate for public policies that provide a more energy-efficient future. The organization recently joined Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to announce a $10 million investment that creates new low-carbon jobs and provides Canadians with resources to reduce their energy bills through home energy efficiency. Efficiency Canada also recently released their third annual Provincial Energy Efficiency Scorecard, a benchmark report of provincial energy efficiency policies.
Simon Fraser University boasts an alumni network of more than 170,000 students from 145+ countries. Their current endowment for the 2022 fiscal year will provide at least $24 million in educational opportunities to over 37,000 current students. A recent reception with donors provided a glowing update on the financial performance of SFU's endowment and future opportunities to give.
"Simon Fraser University strives to provide financial support to every student possible so that they are able to achieve their dreams and become the leaders and innovators of the future." said Alex Kouzin, Director, Advancement Information Systems at SFU. "Engaging Networks is helping us up our fundraising game with a new digital solution. The Engaging Networks team has provided us with a very innovative and customizable fundraising platform that we are currently implementing and are excited to put into practice in the near future."
