Partnering Organizations
A network of changemakers
We are proud to collaborate with leading health organizations, research institutions, and industry partners who share our vision of evidence-based obesity care. These partnerships fuel groundbreaking research, enhance healthcare education, and support national advocacy efforts that reduce stigma and improve patient outcomes.
Our Commitment to Transparency
Obesity Canada is a registered Canadian charity that receives funding from a variety of sources, including grants, sponsorships, education revenue, donations, and corporate partners. These funds support our mission to advance evidence-based education, advocacy, and research to improve the lives of people living with obesity.
We understand that funding relationships can potentially introduce bias and we actively work to recognize and address them.
We follow clear, transparent processes to minimize potential conflicts of interest and protect the integrity of our work. All funding relationships are publicly disclosed, and we apply strict conflict of interest policies, independent review, and internal governance standards to ensure our scientific content remains independent and trustworthy.
We’re committed to building trust by being open about how we operate—because the people we serve deserve nothing less.
