Background

About Tanya Smith

A collaborator by nature, I've spent my 20 year career seeking ways to build stronger communities through partnership. I'm excited to be part of the team leading social purpose development and implementation at Coast Capital Federal Credit Union, a certified B Corp. My portfolio guides the organization’s national community investment strategy. This strategy is brought to life by working with external social purpose partners to collaborate on innovation in social finance and purpose solutions to support initiatives addressing income inequality. I also manage Coast’s volunteer program, connecting employees with the causes they care most about. Equity diversity and inclusion underpins my work, and I serve as the co-chair of the Indigenous Affinity Network at Coast and an active member of the Corporate Community Engagement Council. More than anything, I consider myself lucky to be surrounded by others who also seek to support the radical change needed to create a more equitable and sustainable future.
