Meet Katerina Mertikas — the talented artist behind our newest collection of prints. Snowy sled rides through the trees. Rainy village streets under a sea of umbrellas. Quiet afternoons drifting on the water.

Watching her sign each print by hand is a reminder of how much heart goes into every piece — the colour, the movement, the little moments of everyday joy she captures so beautifully.

Life is good — and Katerina’s art makes it feel that way too.

There's nothing like being in the room when thousands of athletes walk in together.
From August 11th to 13th, we were proud to attend the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in Medicine Hat — and even prouder to cheer on Michelle O'Hanley, the athlete we supported through our Draft an Athlete program.
Michelle has been part of Special Olympics since 1980. This year marks her very first time competing at the national level, alongside two close friends who've been there before. In her own words: "Special Olympics is fun — my friends are there!"
We got to say hello, hand her a little something to wear with Team PEI pride, and watch her take the bocce court alongside her fellow athletes.
Moments like this are exactly why we do what we do.
❤ Go get 'em, Michelle — we're cheering for you all the way from here.

What many people don’t see behind Funding Innovation is the team working every day to support charities, artists, businesses, and communities.
From setting up easels…
To collecting bids…
To coordinating artwork delivery…
To supporting our charity partners…

We’re proud to work with people who genuinely care about making a difference.
Today we want to say THANK YOU to our team, our partners, and the communities that continue to support this mission.

On June 30, we had the privilege of celebrating an incredible milestone alongside our valued partners at Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS)—raising over $2 million through the Support Our Troops Art Easel Program.

This achievement represents so much more than a number. It reflects years of partnership, generosity, and a shared commitment to supporting Canada's military members, Veterans, and their families.

We were honoured to present a commemorative cheque to recognize this milestone and to thank Lieutenant-General (Ret'd) Stu Beare for his longstanding support of the program. We were also deeply touched to receive a meaningful print from Support our Troops, symbolising the impact frequent relocations can have on military children. A powerful reminder of why the funds raised for Support our Troops through this program matters.

To everyone who has helped make this possible—our retail partners, supporters, volunteers, and the incredible team at Support Our Troops—thank you. Together, we're making giving even more rewarding and creating lasting impact for military families across Canada.

Here's to continuing this important work—together.
