Economist (individual or firm)

Canadian Coalition for Community Capital

The final output must clearly tell the story of how modest tax incentives can stimulate broader investor participation thereby increasing the amount of community capital raised which results in measurable housing and jobs/economic multiplier outcomes. The narrative framing is as important as the numbers and deliverables must be usable in government meetings.

To stay within our time constraints, deliverables are limited to: 

1. Brief Methodology Memo (5 pages max) 

2. Excel-based 5-year projection model, with documented assumptions/limitations 

3. Concise Final Report (15–20 pages max) 

4. Government-ready slide deck (8–12 slides) 

5. One presentation to Coalition leadership 

No additional stakeholder engagement, interviews, or extended revisions are included in scope.
