By developing new technologies, fostering new relationships, and establishing creative projects, ICChange is connecting with other influential non- profit organizations, businesses, universities, and governmental bodies. The mission and philosophy of Innovative Canadians for Change (ICChange) is to improve the quality of life and security of vulnerable populations through tangible collaborations with partners to build capacity for both effective community support and sustainability of initiatives. ICChange creates a framework for evolving innovative ideas into reality. Each model uses appropriate technologies, systems, and processes in order to test a hypothesis through implementation.

Ongoing evaluations are instituted as each project is implemented, thereby enhancing best practices for future ICChange models of sustainable development. In these ways, projects ultimately function independently of ICChange through dependable community uptake by local partners.
