(Nonprofit Spotlight) Arundati Dandapani, Executive Director of Generation1.ca
As part of the Charity Charge Nonprofit Spotlight Series, we had the privilege of speaking with Arundati Dandapani, Founder and CEO of Generation1.ca. Arundati's path into the nonprofit world is rooted in a lifelong passion for storytelling and empathy — from publishing her first short story at eight years old, to teaching writing workshops inside prisons, to leading initiatives that bridge data, creativity, and social impact.
Her organization, Generation1.ca, has grown into a thriving professional community that equips immigrants with the tools, networks, and opportunities they need to succeed in a new country.
With more than 2,000 members and a mission grounded in education, inclusion, and collaboration, Generation1.ca is helping transform the newcomer experience in North America.
In our conversation, Arundati shares how her personal journey shaped her leadership, why storytelling remains at the heart of her work, and how her team is building a future where immigrant voices are not only heard but celebrated.
