We Exist to Uplift People and Communities Through Support, Giving, and Leading Change
The AGAT Foundation has been on a mission to uplift people in communities across North America through support and giving. We focus our efforts on raising awareness, inspiring unity, and leading change for important global and local causes. Our Support Streams impact causes from Public Health & Wellbeing, to Community Infrastructure, to Environmental Stewardship.
We look to the V-formation of Canada Geese as inspiration in the work we do. As one, we lead and collaborate with our neighbours towards change. Change for people. Change for our planet. Change for science. No friend is left behind as we build opportunities for meaningful connections, while amplifying important messages to bring us closer to our collective goals.
Where the care of a companion meets the determination of a champion, the AGAT Foundation aims to give communities an invigorating lift and a hopeful reassurance that change is imminent.

The Spirit Behind the
AGAT Foundation
In unity, there is strength. Just as each goose benefits from the combined force of the flock, we find that a shared sense of purpose lifts us all. When one steps out of formation, they quickly feel the drag of going it alone, often rejoining to benefit from the shared energy.
Geese show us that staying in formation with those headed in our direction enhances endurance and success. When the lead goose tires, another seamlessly takes its place, illustrating that true progress is achieved through shared effort and mutual trust.
The geese rotate leadership, sharing the burden and pacing themselves as a team. Their honking from behind is a constant encouragement, a reminder to lift one another up. In our own “honking,” what messages do we send? Let it be encouragement, support, and motivation for each other.
Our words and actions from behind must inspire those in front to keep moving forward. Encouragement can be the difference between stagnation and growth; it’s our duty to honk with purpose, building each other up toward our shared goals.
When one goose is injured, two others follow it down, staying until it recovers or passes. If we, too, have the wisdom of geese, we will stand by each other in both struggle and strength, ensuring no one is left behind as we pursue our collective goals.
Let us, like the Canadian Geese, continue to embody unity, resilience, and purpose.
Together, we rise.
